Daz FIle Extensions and Browsing Question

Is there a way to set it up so that double clicking a file in windows explorer will load that file in Daz, instead of opening a new instance of Daz Studio up?

I know I can drag, but wanted to know if this was possible

    Why are you using the OS? The content Panes will load all your Content..

    There seems to be a lack of options in terms of favorites, plus it is easier for me to navigate through windows explorer
    I can set as many Shortcuts I want and a link them in my Favorite Places,

    Really helps for pose files, although I still use the content browser. You have to understand Windows has been perfecting their browser for quite some time, So If you could incorporate it somehow, that would be a good idea.

    Btw you already can use it, Just drag files. I wanted to skip a step, but thats quite fine.

    Just for general information, the Content Library now(4.6.2.x) supports file short cuts (it will display and load from them when clicked).

    The new DS4.6.2 also now has a Favorites tick so.... you can mark anything as a fav just about.

    By the way I've been a Windows user for 20 some years and know the explorer and STILL prefer to use the DS panes for handling my content, thank you much.

    Also, you can go and create your own Categories. I've gone through my content and sorted things by type (Prop/Light/People), then subcategory of People (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3, Gen 4, Genesis, Genesis 2, etc.), then by what it is (Character, Clothing, Hair, Poses, etc.), etc.

    This is a whole lot easier for me, for instance if I want to find Victoria 4 hair it's all in one place.

    It's a lot of work at first, but if you keep on top of it it's not that bad - unless you accidentally (or stupidly in my case) delete your content database and have to start all over again.

    Cool, I was unaware of these favorite features of the new build
