Hi Drewi,

In windows config you can change the default program to edit png files. You can also, after you click edit in muvizu go to this folder in C:\users
\AppData\Local\Temp. There you will find the muvizu_0.png which still has the transparency intact. You can then edit this in photoshop and save it to a location on your drive. After that you import it back in muvizu with the transparency.


Did not know I could edit from Muvizu like that! Yes, I ran into the same problem. Copying that temp file worked perfect! Thanks!]]> Thu, 02 Mar 2017 06:28:38 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5927-editing-costumes-in-house-muvizu-control.aspx Message from PatMarrNC
Changing the program used for SHELL is different than changing which program is used to OPEN a file.... I frequently browse through graphics directories, and I need the default double click opener to be one of the fast viewer apps.

But SHELL is what's used when another application (like Muvizu) opens a program in edit mode. So I'm thinking that what you posted here is the preferred solution to the problem. Now I can browse image directories without being forced to open each one in my graphic editor, but when I want to edit a texture from inside Muvizu, my preferred editor will start instead of MSPaint.

Some had no problem and photoshop defaulted for them. so i thought there must be a solution. I found this video.

I have just got photoshop to be the default art edit software activated by Muvizu using the method highlighted in the video.
Worked in win 10 and 7.
Thought it was worth a post.

Very much appreciate your replies gentlemen but neither worked for me ...when i navigate to the temp directory i cant find the file..which flummoxes me.


Hi Drewi,

That's strange. I'm on windows 7, maybe you have something else? You should be able to find the location of the png file when it's open in paint, if you click save as... It then should open the location of the file you're editing.

You could also try out these steps to change the default program:

Just nuts! that yesterday when i clicked edit in Muvizu it did give me the option to open the file with whatever prog i wanted and i chose paintshop then edited the map nice and smooth work flow.I know i didn't dream this.
Never mind sob! i'll just have to stick to the old method of saving it in the rubbish windows art prog then opening up in photoshop and laboriously taking out the bits i want to be transparent.]]> Sun, 18 Sep 2016 13:13:05 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5927-editing-costumes-in-house-muvizu-control.aspx Message from ziggy72 Sat, 17 Sep 2016 17:02:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5927-editing-costumes-in-house-muvizu-control.aspx Message from ikes drewi wrote:
I create a boy and load a costume t shirt with an emblem on from the stock costumes and click edit, it defaults to the windows art package but when i save the alterations the .png transparency is lost. I was thinking be cool if i could choose what package do use say photo shop so i wouldn't lose the .png transparency then all of sudden when i clicked edit it did just that i.e. gave me an option of what prog i wanted to use..Brilliant! but the next time i tried it it defaulted back to the windows basic editor and i haven't been able to get that to happen again.
Anyone know how i can get control over this or whats going on?
