On the download page XnView is described the necessity of creation of a xnview.ini file in the program folder before the first run of xnview.exe. The xnview.ini file should contain the following settings:

[Cache]
SavingMode=1

[Start]
ParamsSavingMode=1
SavingMode=1

Can someone explain me the meaning of these settings?

SavingMode=1 (both into [Cache] and [Start] section) should disable the cache. This should improve performances when running XnView from USB pendrive.
ParamsSavingMode=1 means that XNView saves its settings into XnView folder (versus ParamsSavingMode=0, that saves into user folder, and ParamsSavingMode=2, that saves into Windows folder).
All these settings are necessary for allowing XnView to run in a portable manner.
If you need additional informations, please refer to XnView forum, as we have done.
Hope this helps!

As always many thanks for the thorough answers and the remarks on the use of the XnView forum.

At this point I want not forget to mention, that I also participate in other forums. But the quality of the winPenPack forum is with clear distance the highest
