Open bitmap in external software

[Anonymous]

It would be really nice, if in the Material editor, Bitmap source would have a button (or an option in a "right-click menu") to open it in a specific image editing software. It gets a bit frustrating when fine-tuning the textures' colors, to always click on the source bitmap, which opens up the location folder, then search for the bitmap itself in the explorer, then right click, and open in an image editing software.

I think you have that feature already in Max. Right click and choose you editing program. Also I think Max will update automatically the changes.

Archived as this functionality is already in 3ds Max.

Wow! Sorry I have overlooked that, I was looking for the function at the wrong place.

Yes I've been aware that Max updates it instantly, I was just looking for the function to open the file.

Anyways, thank you, that's great!

You are not the first person that has fallen in that problem. In fact a way to rephrase the idea is:

"Make both right click menus for bitmaps consistent. We have different options for the same type of item and should be unified." "This makes many users confused and missing some of the options"
