Curiosity Question: External Editors

[kclaar]

Kirk,

I have a curiosity question regarding invoking an external editor.

I shoot in Nikon NEF format, and have Nikon Capture NX2 defined as my editor within PM6 and PM6+.

My question involves invoking Capture NX2 from the full screen preview window. If I use the right-click context menu, after editing, I am returned to the full screen preview window. If I use the External Editor icon at the top of the full screen preview window, after editing, the full screen preview window has been closed, and I am returned to the contact sheet window. My question is why aren't the actions the same?

I am running the latest version of Windows 10 Home, and the latest versions of PM6 and PM6+. This occurs in both PM6 and PM6+, which I expected.

Thanks!

I see no reason for them to be different.  Sounds like a bug to me.
