Hi all,

I'm wondering how I can do that.
I use the /EXIT parameter in the command line, so I probably need to shell to
Windows as soon as the render is done.
How I do that exactly I don't know. I tried to put

Post_Scene_Command = explore %o

in the INI file, but that does not seem to work.
Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Dick

A couple things will need to happen:

1) In the options menu under script I/O restrictions uncheck the 
"Disable starting other prorgams" item, if it is checked.

2) You'll need to do this in a batch file:

--- batch file content ---

start %1

-- end batch file content

Place the batch file in a known location, then alter your post-scene 
command to the following:

Post_Scene_Command = [path where you dropped the batch 
file]\openimage.bat %o

Explore isn't a command I know of, but start will open the file in the 
default editor.

Have fun!
