Could you please consider adding these two features:
- A setting to enable read-only catalog mode (i.e. existing thumbnails are read from the db, but no new data is added)
- A command line parameter to start an XnViewMP with read-only catalog mode (in the launched instance only, without changing ini settings)
This would be helpful a case where the user runs XnViewMP with catalog caching enabled, and wants to launch one or more additional instances of XnViewMP in read-only mode that won't save new data to the catalog.
Read-only catalog + command line
