losing ini-file placed in windows user-profile

Post by chrizio »

Windows xp pro sp2

XnView is deleting the ini-file placed in win user-profile under
%DOCUMENTS_AND_SETTINGS%\%USER%\Application Data\XnView\
after at-least its second run.

After that it is using a strange/crazy/stupid configuration/layout cause
- the wished ini-file (from user profile) has been deleted before by xnview itself
- xnview has no access to ini-file placed with binaries,
cause non-admin-user has no sufficiant privilages

I wish the ini-file from user profile is in use, so I can
every time change the xnview configuration without switch to
Admin account is required.

Observed with 1.90.3 and 1.91

You are right. In settings dialog 'ini' was set to XnView folder.
I have forgotten, this setting is placed in registry,
won't be backed up with ini-file backup.
