if windows knows what file should be used to open a .bmp it will work exactly the same as .wav. So make sure that windows knows about the program to start for .bmp files. ( This has nothing to do with Girder, its an OS setting )

If you don't want to associate files with the application that you want to open them with (ie. you want to open a bmp file with Windows Paint instead of Photoshop and bmp files are associated with Photoshop) you can use the stepsize box with the execute function. So, you would set execute to C:\Windows\System32\MSPaint.exe and in stepsize (used for command-line arguments) put C:\Pics\123.bmp. Girder will then use MSPaint to open your bmp file instead of Photoshop. This sounds more complicated that it really is and isn't even needed if the file that you want to open is associated with the program that you want to open it with - like Ron said.

I am a new user (leaner) and would like to know if it is possible to have Girder load lets say, an .BMP file without first having to bring up the application and then open a file within the application. Girder has a provision for doing a similar task with .WAV files that I hope can be done with other file types. Thanks
