UI-less Settings are settings that don't have any user interface in XnView to change the state of the setting. The only way to modify these settings is to manually edit the XnView configuration file (<span style="color:#008000">xnview.ini</span>) or XnView settings in the Windows registry (<span style="color:#008000">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView</span>). For more information on how to edit and locate these settings, please read this [http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1547 FAQ topic] or this [[Settings and Ini Files|XnView wiki page]].
UI-less Settings are settings that do not have any user interface in XnView to change the state of the setting. The only way to change these settings is to manually edit the XnView configuration file "xnview.ini" or XnView settings in the Windows registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView". See [[Settings and Ini Files]] and [http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1547 Info about XnView's settings] for more information on how to edit and locate these settings.


Each title in the list corresponds to a section in the INI-file or a subkey in XnView's registry key. E.g. Settings under the Browser title should be added under the <span style="color:#008000">[Browser]</span> section in the <span style="color:#008000">xnview.ini</span> file or in the <span style="color:#008000">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView\Browser</span> registry key. When adding settings to the registry, you should use a <span style="color:#000080">REG_DWORD</span> value type for boolean & integer values and a <span style="color:#000080">REG_SZ</span> type for string values.
All settings are grouped into sections and each title in the list corresponds to a section in the INI-file or a subkey in XnView's registry key. E.g. Settings under the Browser title should be added under the "[Browser]" section in the "xnview.ini" file or in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView\Browser" registry key. When adding settings to the registry, you should use a (REG_DWORD) value type for boolean & integer values and a (REG_SZ) type for string values.

Introduction

UI-less Settings are settings that do not have any user interface in XnView to change the state of the setting. The only way to change these settings is to manually edit the XnView configuration file "xnview.ini" or XnView settings in the Windows registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView". See Settings and Ini Files and Info about XnView's settings for more information on how to edit and locate these settings.

All settings are grouped into sections and each title in the list corresponds to a section in the INI-file or a subkey in XnView's registry key. E.g. Settings under the Browser title should be added under the "[Browser]" section in the "xnview.ini" file or in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XnView\Browser" registry key. When adding settings to the registry, you should use a (REG_DWORD) value type for boolean & integer values and a (REG_SZ) type for string values.
