Hello,

Is it possible to change the default program that "Copy to chart.bmp" opens with. Currently it opens with MS Paint. Is it possible to change to a different graphics program? like paint.net.

Thanks

Actually looking at how this is done, you just need to associate BMP files with that program you mention, on your system. This will do it.

Thank you!

Nowhere in Sierra Chart does it specify to use MS Paint. We simply use a function to open the file and the OS chooses the program to use.

But we do specify that an Edit operation needs to be performed. That could be what is causing Paint to be used. However, you can change that.
