Using the Picture Gallery to show videos

The default behaviour when somebody clicks on a picture in the Picture Gallery is to show the picture in it's natural size in a separate window. But you can change the behaviour so the picture is opened with an external program, or that a file of another filetype is opened instead; for example a video file.

To make this change you can after you have completed step 10 in the tip on the previous page select the Open file with the following filename extension option in the Click Handling tab, and enter a filename extension in the text box to the right of the option; for example "avi" if you want to open AVI videos:



Thereafter you can follow step 11 and forward in the tip as you did before. With the exception that you also need to copy AVI files to the folder at step 20, in addition to JPEG files.

The filename of a AVI file to open must be the same as the filename of the JPEG file that the user clicks on to open the video, with the exception that the filename extension must be different and match the filetype. For example, if the filename of the JPEG picture is "ShowThis1.jpg" then the filename of the AVI video must be "ShowThis1.avi". CD-Menu Creator then always knows which video to open when somebody clicks on the picture in the Picture Gallery.
