Default and locked settings

[klementin]

Hello!
Shouldn't it be possible to set default settings, with the option to lock them for users?

The reason is that if you want to distribute this in a corporate environment, you wouldn't want users to be able to change settings, such as check for updates, for example.

how about
- install in folder that user have no write rights, eg program files
- disable catalog caching in xnview

Hi!
I understand your thinking, but we still want users to be able to change certain settings in the program, but not things like themes and updates (as an example).

which settings do you want to lock?

Hi!
This is what I can think of right now:

[Locked] Tools -> Settings -> General -> Check for program updates: Never
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Registration
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Purchase
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Make a donation
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Check for update

And to make a default settings file for the all users. Let's say "%programfiles%\XnViewMP\xnview_default.ini" in the program catalog, which is then merged with the userssettings in "%appdata%\XnViewMP\xnview.ini". We are thinking on buying this program into our corporate Citrix desktop environment.

I Cannot Confirm in XnViewMP 1.7.2

The following was copied and pasted into the top of "xnview.ini"
[Policies]
menuHelp=false

Reopened XnViewMP and help menu was the same as before!
