Default Assign program to camera button (Q)

I use Vignette since a while and am very happy with this program.
Now i want to assign Vignette to my camera button so it will open when I press it.

I searched everywhere on my phone but couldn't find it. It sounds to me it should be extremely easy but for some reason I can't figure it out.

Does anyone know how to assign an app to your camera button??

Cheers,
Arnold

Open Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, (wait for it to load), Camera.
Click "Clear Defaults". The next time you press the camera button you'll be prompted as to what application you want to use with it.

The same feature works for other apps, for example Messaging, you can choose another app to handle SMS.

Thank you very much for replying, but I can't clear defaults as there aren't any selected according to the system. Strange thing is however, after I been in this camera settings, my camera button does nothing at all anymore when I push it...

I have the feeling I move further away from what I wanted than coming closer...

Default Didn't work

Didn't work for me either. Followed the instructions and it just took slightly longer when i mashed the camera button.
