    how to change Image Editor associated to Unity, like I want to use Gimp instead of MS-Paint, but couldn't find anything on google. My default Windows association is Gimp for Png but Unity still uses Ms-Paint.

    sry my bad, I mean the editor that opens on double click in "Project View" is Ms-Paint instead of Gimp, so I cant open the images on double click.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware, Unity doesn't have an associated image editor.

    You can just use whichever editor you want. As long as the editor can export images in any of the image formats supported by Unity, you can import them into Unity.

    Ah, then this isn't related to Unity; you need to change your default program that opens the specific file type in your Operating System settings.

    The only other thing I can think of is trying to change Image Editor settings in the External Tools Preferences.
