In the About dialog (Help » About) there's the path and name of the .ini file used by XnView.
It's nice to have this info in the About dialog; it would be even nicer if this was a link the user could click on to open the config file.
Note: I do know that there is a "Open Config files location" button in Tools » Settings | Integration | Paths

Re: About dialog: Link to .ini file
...why do you want this?
Oh, perhaps I understand: to fiddle with the file. Why we cannot have for all user configurable settings a checkbox (or similar) in Tools | Settings?

Re: About dialog: Link to .ini file
When testing you have to deal with settings and resetting these many times. So basically it's for testing purposes.m.Th. wrote:...why do you want this?
This is definetely not what I want: Settings on the .ini file level should be (more or less) invisible to normal users.m.Th. wrote:Oh, perhaps I understand: to fiddle with the file. Why we cannot have for all user configurable settings a checkbox (or similar) in Tools | Settings?
Re: About dialog: Link to .ini file
There are some settings which should be - like ExpandUNCPath , VideoMode - there was a setting about all dialogs in tabs (which was it?) - these kinds of settings...Settings on the .ini file level should be (more or less) invisible to normal users.

- Simple list for special non-GUI settings
- Idea: Let's have Ini tweak input from About window
Re: About dialog: Link to .ini file
Yes, I know. This is what I am talking about. Now there is valuable knowledge about what these settings do which will disappear without a simple interface like this: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=34720
