JUST OUT OF BETA TESTING: Topaz Gigapixel AI 6.1 (need to see!)

I just checked my own stash and saw the default for CR2 being an older Topaz app, so it's not specifically a Gigapixel issue.

I'll ask the devs about this and see what's up.

PS: I took 2 seconds and changed it to Photoshop 2022 ;-)

Update: I have asked the devs and will report back.

I'm curious if you ever dragged a RAW file directly into Gigapixel? Perhaps this is what resets the file association (?). Let's see what others say.

. . . make a 2-second adjustment ("Get Info" on a Raw file and change the default app back to whatever you want. . . .

That's kind of ridiculous. I'm not going to add a "two second" step to a very simple procedure just to accommodate this intrusion into my system.

Many software installers do this.  As part of the installation process, they set one or more file type associations to correspond to the application program they are installing.  Nothing unique about the Topaz installers.  Yes, it's an annoyance, and it really shouldn't happen, but it is indeed simple for the user to reset the association to whatever he wants.

Let's see what others say.

It's quick and simple to alter, at least on a Mac, the "default" application that a certain file type will be called upon to open.

Thanks guys.

You were just provided with simple directions on how to spend two second’s disabling that annoyance for good. You seem displeased that the process isn’t actually within Gigapixel.
