I don't know about other people, but for image editing and mod making, i use Paint Shop Pro 7.04

Maybe for XCC Mixer 1.26, you could add some features to automatically copy images from inside files like .shp's into PSP7 as mew images, or at least have a button under the Launch menu to run Paint Shop Pro.

Who knows, people might want something like this, at least I know I do.

Thanks.
