Time for action – changing the default graphics editor

Note that this section is optional, and is only achievable if an alternative graphics editor is available on the computer on which Stencyl is installed.

We can specify an alternative graphics editor using the following steps:

1. Click on File | Preferences (Stencyl | Preferences on Mac OS X).

2. In the Preferences dialog box, click on the Editors icon.

3. In the Image Editor section, click on the current setting, Pencyl (Built-In Editor) and select Choose Application… from the drop-down menu.

4. Use the displayed file browser to locate the preferred graphics editor and double-click on the filename of the application.

5. The location and name of the new graphics application will now be shown in the Image Editor section of the Preferences dialog box.

6. Click on Apply Changes to return to confirm the settings.

What just happened?

We have changed the default settings in Stencyl so that the graphics editor of our choice will now be used whenever we use the Edit Frame...
