ive messed a little more, whats the supported formats for images? ... some work some now, seemed tga always worked, while bmp would not.

Also, im still lost, as the wiki shows to open the .ps in the viewer, however the viewer, only loads pws??

Any suggestions?

If you're using OVQT to test a particul system, you may have to change the texture extension remap option.
Edit Application Data/RyzomCore/ObjectViewerQT.ini (or whatever is your path).
In [DataPath] section add or update:
RemapExtensions=png, tga, png, dds

After that place the textures next to the particule system and restart OVQT.

Long ago only tga was supported, the extension remap was added to support png and dds textures.

The reason (from my IRC logs):
(19:28:39) dnk-88: Molator: If you remember, recently had a guy who asked why the download assets to view the shapes from open client
(19:30:56) dnk-88: Molator: due to the fact that remap extensions was hard-coded, he have to download database
(19:32:38) dnk-88: so when remap ext disabled default, you can use textures from the client
