Thanks Acorn & HD. I don't believe I've ever used it prior to this post either.

I shall add to our merry little band by wishing Egg a happy birthday, and pressing that preview button for the first time in my life. Why is it even there???

It opened Edge by the way.

Mine opens in Opera.

Thanks for the idea
I wrote my script in AutoIt and now the image export preview opens in my default browser.

Preview in Internet Explorer... in 2023...
