    GadgetPack with SlideShow gadget - image view problem

    Hi!

    Since here came Windows 8, came 8GadgetPack.
    I have now Windows 10.1511 Pro x64 and installed 8GadgetPack 20.0.
    When I was downloading gadgetpack, there was note that some gadgets will not work with Windows 10.1607.
    I updated not, but have problem with SlideShow gadget.
    Images slideshow is ok, shuffle, transition, correct folder, next & previous are ok.
    But when I click at button View it displays not full picture.
    It looks that any action is performed 'cause on taskbar blinks button but it’s less than second to identify.
    I browsed scripts written for gadget and its settings, no any program association to view picture.
    So, it looks like uses default image viewer of Windows…
    I set as default viewer JPEGImage and I’m satisfied.
    It looks like cosmetic fix, but my slideshow is not photo folder, there are many times important graphic files and I can’t access them by gadget, I must to find them manually. So, it looks bit useless.
    If is this not possible to fix, I change folder to nice photos from holiday…

    Thank you all.

    Hello

    There are still some software that doesn’t work so well in Win 10. I am assuming that Gadgetpack said is was compatible with Win 10!

        OK, now I have result: Windows 10.1511 Pro x64
        Slideshow gadget displays picture after click on View button. Uses Windows 10 Pictures program - default Windows 10…
        So, here’s simple Q: how to fix it to use other than default program?
        Thank you for help.

          Hi,
          Are you looking to get the gadget to choose a different default program, or are you looking for W10 to use a different default program?

            I’m not sure if I understand correctly.
            Slideshow gadget uses Windows 10 default program to view pictures - Windows Photos
            I’m using for view pictures JPEGView
            I want to fix gadget that it displays picture at click β€œView”
            It is not important in which program, only display.
