Hi,
I see that different folders are collected in the Catalog section.
Is there a way to disable this Catalog completely ? And / or is there a way to avoid collecting folders there ?
Ideally I'd like to configure XnViewMP to act 'zero footprint', like such 'portable applications' not leaving any traces in the ini file, or within a .db file - no folders, no thumbs, no traces or history in the ini file ...
Thanks for any idea
Best wishes,
Jo ...

Pierre, thanks for your quick reply !
But - sorry to ask, where do I find this 'enable catalog' setting ?
Below 'Catalog' I have 'Enable thumbnail caching', which I successfully un-checked - but no 'enable catalog' ...
Thanks and best wishes,

Well, I disabled all that, but I still saw entries below Settings > Catalog > Cached directory ...
But by adding A:\ ... Z:\, \\Server1\, etc. below Excluded/Included it seems to be stopped ... - I had to edit the ini file as the interface did not allow me to enter it like that - but - it seems to work ...
Lets see whether this solves writing items into "Cached directory"
Thanks Pierre for your prompt and helpful comments !

yes it's better to exclude your drives...
