help with abiword and picassa

systemcrash · 30. Nov 2009, 12:38 AM

Im having a problem with these 2 programs. I have not configured them to use each other and i cant find a way to stop it. When i have finished writing a document, i click in print preview then my system becomes unresponsive while it loads my print preview in picassa. Which i am find very annoying.

I have opened abiword and looked in preferences and in plugins but i cant find the path that tells it to use picassa rather then the default one it must of came with..

I read that abiword were making a update with a print preview button. is it just the case that i upgraded to the new version and it automatically used a application i have installed or is it provided with its own default setting that some how got changed?

Can anyone provide me with some insight on this please

Abiword uses the image viewer to show the print preview. The default image viewer on your PC must be Picasa, that's why the print preview opens with it. I did not see any way to change that in Abiword. To get rid of this feature, you will have to change your default image viewer, from Picasa to the windows default one, or one of your choice.

On my PC, without Picasa, Abiword uses the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
