| 1408520 | 2015-09-19 01:03:00 | I'm configuring my new Windows 10 computer and I want to replace Notepad and Windows Media Player with better apps. I've been trying GIMP and Notepad++ but I can't figure out how to get GIMP to save images to JPEG format and Notepad++ opens my Wordpad files with all the ASCI coding present. If I can configure these to do what I want but don't know how advice would be appreciated. If I can't I'd appreciate recommendations on other apps. Thanks. | BrotherDragon (10117) | ||

That is probably because Notepad++ is for writing code rather than creating or editing images. VLC makes for a great media player. It will play any audio codec. As for saving images in GIMP docs.gimp.org |

| 1408523 | 2015-09-19 01:32:00 | Notepad++ is a text editor, not a word processor as WordPad is. Notepad++ does not interpret the file for formatting at all (besides syntax highlighting). | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 1408529 | 2015-09-19 11:23:00 | I want to replace Notepad and Windows Media Player with better apps Did you give WMP a good test? I think it's a new version on W10 After upgrading Mrs Micro's 11" Pavilion 2-in-1 to W10 I decided to test its video playing ability with the most demanding video file I could lay my hands on. 4k @ 100 Mbits/s on an SDXC card. It played perfectly. (For comparison, Adobe Premiere CS6 defaults to 5 Mbit/s when encoding full HD for tablets. So 100 Mbit/s is 20x more demanding.) I also pulled HD from a WD TV Live media player over Wifi and simultaneous relayed the 2-in-1's screen to the TV, also over Wifi. It worked so well I fell into thinking the TV was playing directly from the media player I suppose some of this good performance is due to the Pavilion's hardware (even though it was under $600) but I also wonder if WMP has been made more efficient (I like MPC-Classic the best on my W7pro64 desktop but it often stops working) |
