Custom keyboard shortcuts reset after restart

Post by corr »

When I set custom keyboard shortcuts (interface > shortcuts) and restart xnview my settings are gone. Other settings are saved.

Version 0.99.0 64bit on Win10

For me the shortcuts are saved in default.keys

I can save the settings if I start xnview as admin. But can't with standard user. default.keys is in programs. Seems the reason why it can't be saved.

Now I understand it. It does not import the data from the key file. It uses the key file as a new file from which it reads the data at every restart and when you delete it, it returns to the defaults. This is unexpected behavior for me.

Why default.keys is in program folder?
