Re: Exporting a snapshot directly to Preview
(Forgot the Subject line.) Thanks Scott and Colin, LiveCode and this list make it sooo easy. It is almost embarrassing. Does anyone know what program, if there is ONE, that opens when you double click on a jpg or png image in Windows? What happens when you click on an image.jpg? Does Windows present options?

Hope this helps.

Re: Exporting a snapshot directly to Preview
My variation of the syntax leaves it up to the system to open the file. It would be wrong of you to predetermine that a user sees the document in any particular program. Just leave off the part where you set the app to use, and the system will take care of that for you.
