    Remembering slideshow files

    I have just upgraded to Irfanview 4 after using 3.95. Previously when preparing a slideshow if I closed Irfanview and returned to the slideshow later it had retained the list of files and one could modify or add to these. With Version 4, the list is lost. I know I can save the intermediate list as a text file and reload it later, but is there a setting or preference I can set to make Irfanview behave like version 3.95?

    Hi Mike! It has to be an option you checked or unchecked. I started IrfanView 4 and prepaired a slideshow (hotkey W). Then I started the show without saving the text file. I stopped the slideshow and furder IV by pressing the Esc-key. Next I restarted IV and pressed W. And see, there was the same slideshow-list again. When I have a problem with IrfanView and it takes too long to find out what coursed it, I delete i_view32.ini and start all over again.

      (Quite a crude solution I must say, but you probably have your reasons)

      The difference is that IV renders a file "slideshow.lst" in it's own root dir. No matter if the slideshow is saved as a .txt file on maybe a different location as well, this file contains the content of the latest slideshow being used.
      I didn't made track on the behaviour before exactly, but I remember that with previous versions of IV this "slideshow.lst" file was saved in the system-dir of Windoze.

        My way of replying to Mike was to 'proof' the file slideshow.lst isn't gone with version 4. It stays in the root of IrfanView 4 like it did in version 3.95. The version you aimed at, was (I believe) 3.25. I assumed Mike had deleted his old IrfanView installation folder, so obviously the old list was not there anymore. To reassure Mike, I replied that 'crude' way, although it wasn't ment to be...

          I was joking a bit.. As a matter of fact, in some circumstances, it's a nice tip to solve some mess.
