Option for LastFileName didn't exist in settings

Post by forklab »

There are LastFilename option in xnview.ini but there are no option in settings to enable/disable recording of this.
Only history and session saving parameters.
Each time any file opened it writes data there even if @Invalid() put there before starting XnViewMP like in "History", "RecentFiles" and "session" xhview.ini parameters

The problem is that if someone does not want to leave any traces and does not make changes to the settings, they are constantly overwritten and supplemented with unnecessary information.

Checkbox is enabled always. It has no impact at LastFilename parameter in ini.

Now it is cleaning this parameter.
Added something there, saved, started program, exited, checked - record is cleaned. Seems ok.
