[Load settings with file is volatile]

I'm not one to question how program works, many programs use a ini file for reading settings, instead of using registry. I though this was one half-way there approach to that.

Yes that's what happens, I load the ini and after close ImgBurns settings are not saved. Which leads me to think on the meaning of this load/dump setting files thing, I wondered if I was doing something wrong since it's a ver strange behavior.
 

/SETTINGS "<File Name>"
    Used to override loading the settings from the registry, and instead load from / save to the specified file.
    If the file does not exist, default settings will be used and the program will attempt to save to the specified file when it's closed.

    Even if this switch is not specified, the program will attempt to load from 'ImgBurn.ini' in the application exe's directory BEFORE it loads from the registry.

 

I'm gonna try to rename it to ImgBurn.ini to see if it works. edit: yes that worked.

No, closing ImgBurn didn't store the ini settings into reg either, I think they are volatile in the right sense, I don't know, maybe LIGHTNING UK! could explain that better.

 

Thanks for help.

Thank you.

 

I was worried that would also save ImgBurn install specific settings not related over a format.

 

Thanks for help.

 

btw, is it possible to convert a settings.ini file to reg? I tried to capture reg while loading the settings but that didn't do the trick.

I'm not sure how ImgBurn works, all I want is to have a file with the settings and be able to load them and make them permanent.

 

As I understand this method is not for that by design? do I need to backup registry?

[Load settings with file is volatile]

I have a fallback template settings file that I can revert to after I touched too much or simply to use after a reformat.

As per documentation I use this line:

imgburn.exe /SETTINGS SettingsImgBurn.ini

This is both to dump settings to file, or if the file is present, to load them.

 

Problem is, after I close ImgBurn, these settings are lost, so in the end I have to do everything by hand. Am I missing something?

 

 

 

 

Also a bit offtopic but do you recommend turning on OPC for blurays? I use a Pioneer BDR207 writer with Panasonic discs.
