double-click and validate for the command to be written into the Registry.
Modify the path according to your RawTherapee path. Don’t forget that quotes and backslashes must be escaped by a backslash (first version of my post was ruined by the text editor, which also considers backslashes as escapes, and converts straight quotes to left and right quotes;) I had to use HTML entities; copy-paste should work now). If you want to change the name “RawTherapee Browser”, don’t forget to change both occurrences.
PS: Still searching the proper way to pass parameters through an XnView ini file…
I also use XnView (portable version) and have added the batch file I mentioned in my post of Oct 2 to the “Open with” … “Add Program” (change to the BAT option in the dialog box…).
XnView assigns a Shortcut key as well (Alt+1 if it’s the first)
imo> From my viewpoint this is an ergonomics stability issue. RawTherapee should mimic normal Windows (and other OS) functions. Normally when you open an image with other tools (Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer, and IrfanView) you get full file-browser functionality.
imo> RT should give the same/expected full functionality and not leave users wondering why RT reacts in this unexpectedly odd behavior.
If someone needs for RT to run in a minimal function mode then perhaps that should be the exception while full functionality is standard.
Just my .02 cents. No offense meant to you hard working clever developers.

I could not agree more. All due respect to the RT team, I think this type of quirky behavior is what can turn people away and is they type of issue that puts distance between FOSS and Commercial software. Of all the design and image software I use RT is the only one with this approach. Not sure that’s a good thing. Perhaps it should be an option which is disabled by default.
This creates a sense of ‘quirkiness’ which I think is the type of thing which can have a negative impact of FOSS and its adoption.
But again, RT is truly amazing… I’m very happy to have it and have a deep appreciation for those who contribute to its development…
