XnView Software

I've tried that. If I leave it as "use .ini file in folder User", but change the path for the databases, .ini appears in my home folder in .xnviewmp, as expected. The databases are where I wanted them.

If I also change the "use .ini file in folder" to "program", then .ini still appears in my home ...

1. Why do you want to use two different databases? :)
