Configuration File

This appendix describes all configuration options directly available in the programs configuration file. Some, but not all, of these configuration options may be available through the GUI.

If DIMG.ini is present in the programs directory, DIMG will always use this file for loading and storing its configuration data. If this file is not present, DIMG will use what ever is normal for the operating system it is running on. Under windows, this means using the system registry. Under UNIX it will be something like
~/.config/zxnet/DIMG.conf.

If configuration is stored in the Registry under windows, configuration keys will live under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\zxnet\DIMG\.

If configuration is stored in a file the file is a standard INI file. The first segment of the Key is the group with the remaining segments forming the Key. For example, the key State/Dirs/LastOpenDir would appear in the INI configuration file as:

[State]
Dirs\LastOpenDir = "C:\somewhere\"

Note that DIMG does not automatically create keys in the configuration file. If a key is not present the program will use its hard-coded default value or ignore the setting it controls entirely. If a setting is changed from the GUI and the key does not exist it will be created.
