* View pictures in external application?

[JimDavis79]

FH 7.0.22 on Windows 11.
I have read the KB and forums and understand that non-picture media will open in the Windows default application for that file format. I also know that if the Media tab is open, that the Media menu offers to open the file in the default application.

Is there a way to have FH always open picture files in the default application and not its own viewer without having to work through the Media tab? My usual application gives me options that FH does not.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Wherever you see this button, that will open the selected media in the default application.

I don't think there's any way to force FH to do so without using that button.

Thanks! I've seen that button in several tabs/ windows, and it indeed acts as you describe. I was hoping a double-click on the picture file would open it as well, but I guess not.
