The feature is more or less hidden, so non-powerusers won't mess with it.

I usually use a "xyz.local" placeholder file to switch programs I develop into "portable" mode. On the other hand I agree that it might be handy to allow XNView to be "portable". XP (or less) users usually won't recognize any difference as they run as Administrator per default, but it cause fuss in Vista where regular users will per default run as regular users.īeside the fact - just to repeat it - that writing to Program Files is simply a bad and false thing.

Writing stuff (like xnview.ini) directly into the Install folder is a clear violation of MS coding guidelines (or better: laws).įurthermore if you run a program that does such things as an underprivileged user the program will not work probably!

Just an example (regardless some pretty bugs I found out) : The new tool-bar system is hybrid, this is necessary to continue the use of the skins, but it's far to be usable easily !

According to the tests I'm performing currently, especially about the tool-bars and the icons one can add, I may say that the settings saving must change a lot….
