hi all,

I wonder is there is a way I can double click a file in adobe bridge and it open using picasa photo viewer?

I prefer picasa photo viewer which load the image fast and i can zoom in with scroll to check the quality easily, but I usually edit keywords in adobe bridge. It is kind of troublesome to switch between it.

I had googled but no results..and check around bridge it seems no way to open it with other applications..

If you're using Windows, right-click and "Open with..." should do it.

^ Hmmm? There is on mine... second from top. Version CS4. Windows XP.

Only in the main workspace though, if you open it first you won't get it.

yes, right click and there is 'open with' but the option is only adobe photoshop and illustrator, there is no option of open with another program..is there a way to add program in the 'open with' tab?

Mine offers Picasa - but perhaps that's because it's set as a default viewer. You could try that.

Otherwise I don't know how to help further, sorry.

thanks, i have found the way to change it, it is under preferences setting of adobe bridge..edit->preferences->files type associations, then i browse to picasa photo viewer applications folder to make it defaulted applications.
