Multiple extensions must be separated with whitespace and not commas.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/toolsMenu.html#helperApplicationMenu Esc x is the binding of "Tools|Execute Command" (i.e. execute command "insert after").

If after changing the specification of the helper application and using Ctrl+Shift-O, it still does not work then this means that for some reason, i_view32.exe is not designed to be used as a helper application. Example of such application: write.exe which in fact starts wordpad.exe (or is it the opposite?) > Or, hopefully, an easier way to launch images? > I'm sorry but the answer is no.
