Using Nik Software as a plugin

Larry Hamilton

I realise that this topic has been covered before albeit some time ago and I've read those posts without finding a solution for my issue.  I can't seem to add programs to my Edit With menu.  Every time I use another program I'm obliged to navigate to the program location and identify the .exe file.  I've tried various ways to achieve what other people seem to do simply by changing the settings for plugins but seem to come up with a brick wall each time. Is there something I'm missing to add other programs to the Edit With list?  Here is my current options which don't show the various photo editing programs I have installed on my computer.  The Nik Collection is one I use frequently and even if I can't add the other programs I certainly would prefer if the Nik Collection was easier to access. I'm using the latest version of Capture One build 14.3.0.185 with Windows 10 64bit

Any help appreciated!

Regards

Larry

  Sure Thomas:

  Kevin's advice as a comment in this post: https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4403475395473-ON1-HDR-Plugin-not-showing-under-Edit-with-

  was: "You can try this... Windows Explorer and find a .jpg or .tif file anywhere. Then right click and do an "Open with" in Windows Explorer. Keep clicking on "more apps" in the popup dialog (about 2 to 3 times or so) until you get the "Browse" button in the dialog box (this is under Windows Explorer, not C1). Then browse to your missing app and select it to open the file. Once that is done, exit the app and then start C1. It should now show up in the Preferences / plugins, it might even have a checked box. 
  
  This is my goto way to get things to show up in C1 now-a-days."

  This worked for me, at least to populate the dialog box with "edit with" options.  There still seem to be some issues for me with doing an edit with in another program and then saving or closing that program and returning to Capture One with the saved edit.  I'll persist trying to find a solution to that.  For me it seems to work sometimes and not others.

  Hope this helps.

  Regards

  Larry
