1.91.4: XnView U3 and INI

[ckit]

XnView 1.91.4 doesn't use it's own INI when loaded on a Toshiba U3 drive, it uses the local version!

BTW: I manually updated the 1.90.3 U3 version

Really, but do you use a special .ini?

XnView always checks the registry first, if that's enabled it'll ignore any ini completely. I haven't tested user ini vs local, maybe that takes precedence as well.

Oh right, so you must not have a XnView that use registry to use U3 version...

XnView should use it's own INI stored on the USB drive itself not the same one as on the HDD.

If XnView could be hardcoded like this...
XnView.exe -ini xnview_u3.ini

Ok, the problem is that xnview search settings first in registry, and after in 'Document settings', and after in xnview folder. Perhaps i must search in xnview folder at first step?

Yes, it would be useful also when testing a bug with default settings, now it's too complicated.

Hello !

…Perhaps I must search in xnview folder at first step?

• Yes, please do it. I think also that's much better, and in all cases (not only when using a USB medium).

So it should be like that?
* -ini parameter
* XnView folder
* User folder
* Windows folder

Hello !

• Yes, like this.
- It should be convenient for USB devices, and also securer when updating the programme “by hand”
(I'd a hitch once recently, probably because that order of searching…)

Remind us when you release it, so I remember to rename my existing .ini files. =p

[xnview]

And xnview.ini in same folder than xnview.exe must be checked before xnview registry settings??

Yes (IMO).

[Drahken]

The default behavior in any program should be to check for/react to an ini file in it's own folder before doing anything else. Checking user/windows folders or the registry should always be secondary.
