I've never used built-in Windows apps for viewing images, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but I can't make TC use the new feature of showing multiple images in the Photos app. Here is what I did to test it:
1. I created a directory with a few images in PNG, JPG, BMP formats.
2. Then I opened the File Associations, and unticked the PhotoViewer.dll option for PNG files, to make TC use the Photos app.
3. After that I double-clicked the first PNG image.
Result: The Photos app opened and showed just this image, without any navigation arrows.
I tried adding the PhotoAppFilter parameter to the wincmd.ini (with the example value from the history for jpg and png), but it didn't change anything, the app still shows just the single file I clicked, no navigation.
While testing, I noticed additional issues which I don't understand, but which could be related:
a) the "PhotoViewer.dll" option is not saved. When I restart TC, the option is checked again, and Photo Viewer is opened when I double-click image files.
b) the "PhotoViewer.dll" checkbox is missing completely in the 32-bit version of TC.
Adding ReplacePhotoApp=0 manually to wincmd.ini didn't change anything at all.
Is TC supposed to behave like that, or am I doing something wrong?
TC 11.03 rc1 32- and 64-bit, Win10 22H2 x64.
