#7 Settings not save in ini
I placed folder JPEGView64 in short english path(not in Program files) = settings not save.
I choose "apply setting as default"= settings not save.
I found file in %APPDATA%\JPEGView\ and "StoreToEXEPath=false" in it, but settings not save.
How i saved damn settings: delete %APPDATA%\JPEGView, manually edited settings in file JPEGView.ini in folder with exe.
I even run your program as administrator! = did not help!
But your program does what I want - after saving the settings. :) Thank you.
So I decided to report such unusual behavior of your program while saving the settings.
Windows 8.1 x64
JPEGView has two INI files, one in the EXE path (global INI) and optionally one in the %APPDATA% path (user INI). The later one is created when you first execute the 'Apply settings as default' or 'Edit user settings' based on the file JPEGView.ini.tpl. Settings in the user INI override settings in the global INI. The reason for that is that normally writing into the EXE path is not possible, e.g. when the EXE is in 'Program Files' folder.
In the global INI there is a setting StoreToEXEPath that can be set to true to force JPEGView not using the user settings file in %APPDATA%. However this key is not in the user INI since some versions (for good reasons...), maybe it's a leftover from an earlier version on your system.
Maybe in your case the settings could not be written to the %APPDATA% path for unknown reasons (no rights?, read only flag set?). You seemed to now have set StoreToEXEPath=true what forces JPEGView to save to the global INI what seems to be writeable on your system.
Hello guys
Anyone knows how to change/customise the default SAVE LOCATION on JPEGView 64bit?.
I notice it always defaults to ../JPEGView64 folder when using the CRTL + S keys to save files.
Hi
According to source code, it is using the directory of the loaded file, respectively the last directory used in the Save-as dialog if that dialog has been used before.
A quick test on Win 10 also showed that behavior.
