Restoration to program default options

Post by murthy363 »

I frequently change various options to get a real feel of the program.

After some experimentation, I wish to restore to

1) Program defaults (Original XnView.ini file)

2) Last saved desirable set of user defaults

Do we have the facility within the program for at least 1) above?

Thanks in advance for your response.

You can rename original configuration file and allow the program to create a new one.
If you want it to use the program folder instead of MS's "user" folders, you can start program with small INI file containing the following info:

Code: Select all

[Start]
SavingMode=1
ParamsSavingMode=1

[Cache]
SavingMode=1

I wished that the program may have buttons like 'Save to User defaults', 'Restore from user defaults' Restore from program defaults', like some of the software with LOT of options like XnView has. These buttons may help a layman also.

Thanks for the fast response with a workaround.
