WB Breaks Ashampoo Photo Commander

from Stardock Forums

When running Windows Blinds beta all themes apart from Aero derivatives break the ability to double click on a photograph & it open in Ashampoo Photo Commander viewer, when looking in Task Manager Ashampoo is running but fails to run display anything. The only way to then end the crashed Ashampoo  is to terminate it in Windows Task Manager - When running Ashampoo from it's exe it's OK & I can view photographs & manupulate them  OK - This problem was also there at times in version 7.4.1 of WB - It's actually stopped me using WB as I use Photo Commander a fair bit - I'm also going to write to Ashampoo support & see if they can find a solution as I like WB, I have no problems with Icon Packager or Fences with Photo Commander - Thanks

Go into Windowblinds > Settings > Per Application and 'add' the Photo Commander's program exe to the list. Should work ok then :)

Which OS are you using and which version of Ashampoo Photo Commander?

Also which file type are you double clicking on as it may be a factor.

@Fuzzy Logic - I'll try that - Photo Commander version 11.0.2 (latest) - The issue also occurs with the previous version 10.2.1 which was the final in version 10 - My OS is Win 7 64 Bit all updates applied, the problem did occur with Win 7/32 Bit also - File types .jpg/ & all graphics files I've used that are associated with Photo Commander - 

 

Edit: Doh excluding the PC .exe from skinning appears to be working. I really should have known that as I've used WB on & off since it's beginning & quite a few programs then needed to be excluded. I must be getting old, possibly due to the fact Photo C works OK other than when using an associated file directly threw me (my excuse anyway) I'll post back if the problem continues - Thanks
