Preview dialog and Edit with external editor

[devenh]

When in the Preview dialog I can only access my external editor by mouse clicking the icon at the top of the window. Pressing the E key does not work (nor Ctrl+E).  All the other shortcut keys work (e.g. X for crop, I for IPTC).

Deven,

That's odd.  Does the computer beep when you press E?  Do you have a default application assigned to edit photos (in the Launching tab of the Preferences dialog)?

I am experiencing the same thing in PM V 4.6.7 and Win Vista 64bit. No beep, no indication of any problem. Capture NX2 is assigned as the default editor and does open when selecting "Edit" from the context menu.

From the Preview dialog - When I press "E" Capture NX2 opens and file loads. Seems to work for me.

Kirk,

No, it does not beep.  I'm away from my desktop PC now, so while I am pretty sure the default app is set, I am not 100% sure.  Wouldn't the fact that when I click on the icon and the editor is invoked indicate it is set correctly?

Using my laptop, pressing E does work (also Windows 7 64 bit, but 4.6.3).
