XnView Software

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

What do you have in option/system integration/Save ini?

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.
