My feature request - either:

Export configuration settings to a file.

-or-

Save settings to .ini file instead of the system registry.

I've been going into the registry, locating the appropriate keys, then exporting to
a .reg file. I think it would be terrific to be able to do this via the user interface.


Enjoy the day.

All you need is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ImgBurn

and you can already use an ini file, look in the readme.txt file.
Please don't PM me with questions that should be posted in the forum. I won't reply - Especially if you have post count of 0!!!

Hi Lightning. Thanks for responding

All you need is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ImgBurn


I've also been exporting the file associations stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

and you can already use an ini file, look in the readme.txt file.


Cool! Although I sifted through the online documentaion, and also the forum,
I was unable to locate this info. I never thought to look at the Readme in the
Program Files directory.

I've updated all of my shortcuts with the command-line switch. Works
great.

This raises a second question. In th future, if I do a clean install of ImgBurn
on a system with imgburn.ini already in place in the Imgburn directory,
will ImgBurn or its installer still create the registry entries?

Thanks again.

Regards,

Thomas

If you have ImgBurn.ini in the same folder as ImgBurn.exe, it'll use that automatically before looking for and loading any settings in the registry.
