Hello,
Users complained having plenty of folders named "server\folders\<user>\AppData\Roaming\IrfanView\i _view32.ini in their home folders, mainly in their "pictures" folder.
I noticed that every time they opened IrfanView 4.27, a new folder\subfolder chain "server\folders\...." was being created. I then realised that the i_view32.ini file is never written to the %APPDATA%\IrfanView folder, nor is the IrfanView folder itself being created. Other apps write to %APPDATA% on the server without problem.
There is a file i_view32.ini in C:\Program files(x86)\Irfanview with the following content:
[Others]
INI_FOLDER=%APPDATA%\IrfanView
Server is a Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP2 with AppData redirected off from Profile folder through Group Policies. Client ist Windows 7 Pro x64 German. APPDATA is set to \\server\folders\<user>\AppData\Roaming, but no IrfanView folder is being saved here. Irfan View was installed manually for all users and Win7 preferred AppData folder.
Is this a bug or did I miss something? Thanks for helping! Never had this problem before with XP and older versions of Irfan View.
