My system is Linux.
I use the latest version of XnView MP.
I would like to change the location of my INI file.
It is now set to "Program", but I would like to change it to "user".
When I change this setting to "user" and start XnView new, then I have again "program".
Maybe this is, because XnView can not write to "root", where the program is?
So here is my question: How can I change this setting to "user", so that it remains permanent after the restart of Xnview?
Thank you.

Re: Can not change the location of my INI file
Above my pay grade, but are you able to launch XnView MP as root from the terminal, for example, and then try again?
Re: Can not change the location of my INI file
When I start XnView with sudo and change "program" into "user", press "OK" and restart XnView with sudo, then it's the same.
-> It's "program" again. Very strange.

Re: Can not change the location of my INI file
This is what happens, when I start XnView as user in a terminal:
--------------------------------
Another thing is, that I can change things in the GUI, like choose another language (For example change from German into English). Restart XnView and I have again German. I can change other things, but they do not remain after the restart.

Re: Can not change the location of my INI file
Thank you. After having removed the one in opt/XnView now all is again as it should be.
