zooming out quickly starts photoshop up
Hi again,
I use XX pro 4.01.5601 CD, and yes, I will upgrade one of these days, but in the meantime, just wondering if you could help me fix this glitch:
If I have a photo selected and have zoomed down into it, and then wish to use my shift key/right mouse button to zoom out, when I click those buttons twice to zoom out, Photoshop starts up, and I’m now in Photoshop editing mode. It happens every time, whether I want Photoshop or not.
PS – it only happens when I click those zoom buttons twice in a row quickly. If I do it very slowly it doesn’t happen.

in that version - fast double clicking a photo will automatically open up your chosen bitmap editor [which you have set in options to be photoshop it would seem]
no way round this except to not fast double click
or alternatively disable the external bitmap editor [leave the field blank in options]

Re: zooming out quickly starts photoshop up
Thanks for that info Steve, and for the screen shot. ;)
I'll probably disable that function then, but before I do, when you say the part about clicking the photo, is it meant to include shift/right button click (zoom out)? I knew if I clicked it a couple of times fast with the left button it would happen, but didn't know it included other variations with the mouse.

Hi
I just checked in version four
is it not shift middle click to zoom out and ctrl middle click to zoom in ?
have you used something to change the defaults - right click should bring up a menu... [maybe you do not use a wheel mouse?]
and yes - I can get right click to open the bitmap editor sometimes, but its not consistent mostly its the menu, so it may well be a glitch/bug....
Re: zooming out quickly starts photoshop up
Back in September I had a similar problem where I would come back to my computer (home office, just me) and Photoshop would be open as well as my Canon Scanner interface. Trying to close scanner would cause a grinding noise in the scanner (OUCH), I would have to hit the scanner power switch. Don't know if it was Xara related, but I always have Xara open. I don't use Photoshop, I use PSP7, and never did find the cause. To save my scanner I uninstalled Photoshop. No problems since. Maybe a Photoshop ghost?

I didn't change anything but you have helped me Chris - when I use ctrl and the wheel I can zoom in and out, without opening up PS, so I'll use that function instead. Pretty soon I'll upgrade to the latest XX.
In the meantime, thanks for the help. ;)
