XnView Software

Hello!
Shouldn't it be possible to set default settings, with the option to lock them for users?

The reason is that if you want to distribute this in a corporate environment, you wouldn't want users to be able to change settings, such as check for updates, for example.

Br,

how about
- install in folder that user have no write rights, eg program files
- disable catalog caching in xnview

Hi!
I understand your thinking, but we still want users to be able to change certain settings in the program, but not things like themes and updates (as an example).

which settings do you want to lock?

Hi!
This is what I can think of right now:

[Locked] Tools -> Settings -> General -> Check for program updates: Never
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Registration
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Purchase
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Make a donation
[Disable/Remove] Help -> Check for update

And to make a default settings file for the all users. Let's say "%programfiles%\XnViewMP\xnview_default.ini" in the program catalog, which is then merged with the userssettings in "%appdata%\XnViewMP\xnview.ini". We are thinking on buying this program into our corporate Citrix desktop environment.

Hello,
I would also be very interested in this implementation

See issue for current status and some details.
