Editing texture in application

[srx]

Maybe you did not set your image editor in Window/preferences/apllication

A simpler way is to just select any face that has the texture and click "edit texture image". At least that's the way I've always done it.

I did all of the above suggestions thanks by the way. Pixelmator wants to know where to save it, by default it wants to save it in MacHD/private/tmp so I let it didn't work, so I did it again and saved it in user/documents didn't work, I guess what I need to know is where to save it ?

If it asks you where you want to save it, something's wrong, and it won't work. Are you clicking "Save" or "Save As"?

pixelmator is weird in that it's trying to save the texture as a .pxm file (pixelmator's own file type.. similar to photoshop's .psd etc..)

so, when you're in pixelmator's save dialog, tick the box that says 'save copy as [png, jpg, or whatever format the texture happens to be.. the right choice will already be selected for you but it will vary depending on which type of texture you're using]
(then choose 'replace' at the prompt)
