Another stupid novice question.

I use Lighroom as my primary photo editing software and it is configured to open and import photos whenever I insert a CF card. Whenever I plug the MX980 into the USB port, LR opens. Even if it’s open, it’ll pop up as the active screen when I plug the remote into the computer. This is driving me nuts!

I can not find anywhere in LR to change this, and I don’t know Vista very well yet and can’t find how to stop this from occurring.

Any suggestions?

I would start by going into Control Panel-->Default Programs.

After that, it could be either two places, Auto Play or Associate file type.

I hope this helps, I use Lightroom secondary only to Photoshop, and with my copy of CS3, it would open whenever I plugged in my Digital Rebel Xti.

That was a while ago and it slips my mind how I hurdled that one, but I know it was with the Default Programs.

Good Luck,
Joey

Thanks Joey.

I looked under “Associated file type or protocol with a specific program” in Default Programs.

I have several file types where LR is the default program. All but three are LR specific. They are:

AGLIB File
ABMODULE File
AGTOOLKIT File

Any idea which one of these is tied to the MX Editor USB driver for the remote?

Hey, I just looked in my copy of Lightroom, and in the preferences, under the Import tab, the first option should not be enabled, stating "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".

Try to disable this if it is checked, then try again.

I just tried that.... It still opens LR. Darnit....

See if this works. Go to Vista control panel. Open Auto play. At the bottom there is a Windows Mobile device. Select take no action from the pull down menu.

Thanks... There is no mobile device listed, but I tried selecting "take no action" for pictures. That stopped LR from opening. Not sure why Vista thinks this remote is camera media storage.

Now if I could figure out Variables, I'll declare success with programing this thing. :)
