Title: [SOLVED]Unable to Launch Image Editor[SOLVED]
Post by: Knox on Wed 31/03/2010 00:12:08
Hi,

It seems I can no longer "view" a sprite from the sprite viewer while double-clicking on it. I used to be able to do this, but now I get this error:

Unable to launch your image editor. Make sure you have an application installed to handle PNG and BMP files, and that it is not already running. If it is running, close it and then try again.

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Im using the final version of 3.2, and Windows 7 64 bits.

Well close MS Paint and try again. :P

Whatever program is set as the default program for editing in Windows should be the program AGS tries to launch. For example, if you right click on a BMP file there should be an option that says "Edit". Whatever program that command launches is your default BMP editor.

Make sure that your default BMP/PNG editor isn't running when you try doing this..

Ah no, I think I mistook this problem for something else...You're right, if photoshop is already opened it will do this, so yes, closing it and reopening solves that problem...

Actually I noticed in my preferences the default editor was set to photoshop, when a while back, I had set it to acdsee (image viewer) so that way when I doubled clicked on a sprite I could see it in all its full resolution glory.

DOH!

thanks though :P
