Suggestion: User based Options

[Dirk]

Hi guys !

First, your tool is great !!! (But a little constructive criticism doesn't hurt, does it ?)
The subject says it all ...

I tried to use XnView with Windows XP (Installed as Administrator - used by all users). I quickly found that only administrators can save options.

This is not surprising, since the options are stored in an .ini-file in the program directory (where only administrators have write access).

Please consider to either use user based ini-files (stored in the users' profiles directory) or saving options into the HCU branch of the registry.

Hello Dirk !
- It's possible to save the options in the Registry : Options >> Install >> “Use registry to save options”

You can do that, options/install/use registry
