REQ: Custom Folder for Save Options

Post by ckit »

I would like to be able to specify a custom folder for both "XnView's INI" and "Folder used for other files"

Basically I want to put all of XnView's configuration somewhere else where the next install of XnView won't wipe them out.
Currently, I can only do this with the toolbar and the thumbnail cache.

XnView 1.90 <x>

:) Hello Chris !


• I support, I'd already requested something in that painting HERE 3 months ago - at least for the INI file- quite unsuccessfully…
- It's incomplete, indeed a [•••] browse button is missing for the INI :|

• I posted the same in the French forum with an image in French, nope…

It's ok, Clo.
I'm using "user" for INI and the "other files" now.
Keeping your files in XnView's main program folder is a huge mistake, learnt the hard way.

I support this request.

...But moving to "- Feedback".

BTW I install some programs to other folder/disk, not to C:\Program Files, then it works even after Windows reinstall and settings are not lost.
