My irfanview is installed using the defaults but is there a way to have Irvanview export an ini file of the current settings such that I can save
and later import that back into any wiped out newer version of Irfanview?
The need to wipe out the existing Irfanview to load the latest Irfanview occurred today when I tried to use the screenshot capture hotkey that I've been using since I was a little boy, well, for as long as I can remember.
Did the latest Windows update take over the Control + LEFTARROW hotkey?
Irfanview was set up with "Options -> Capture/Screenshot" set up like this.

It's Arlen forging again because he's fucked in the head.

That's possible, of course, but I didn't think so.

Have you checked the list of Shortcuts to see what shortcuts are
available in the version your version of Irfanview?
Help - "Shortcut Keyboard Shortcut Keys"
There are many, or I would scroll through the list for you.

It's Arlen. The poster being forged posts through ES.
That forged post is through mixmin.
Arlen uses servers
that require no registration to forge and he has done it
many times. IIRC, he's forged you too.

Control leftarrow moves to the next file in the folder equivalent to >prssling the space Key
Control Rightarrow moves to the previouis image

Is that a typo or is your setup different from mine? It's the exact
opposite here.

There's nothing to export. The ini file is in one of two locations,
which you determine at install time.
The one I know about (since I selected it at install time) is %APPATA%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini.
I _think_ the other one is in C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView, but
I'm not certain.

Somebody still does, in AUE. Is that him there too?

Thank you for that advice which explains why there's no export/import.
I found a file called "i_view64.ini" which must be the file you speak of.

I guess you must have 64-bit Irfanview.
I didn't know that a 64-bit version existed.

There's usually no reason to update Irfanview since it doesn't change much.
But I hadn't even thought about the bitness - so I looked it up for you
since you took your time to help me - I'll help back if I can help you.
Starting with IrfanView 4.40 there is also a 64-bit version available. https://www.irfanview.com/64bit.htm
Advantages of IrfanView 64-bit over 32-bit version:
It can load VERY large files/images (image RAM size over 1.3 GB)
Faster for very large images (25+ Megapixels, loading or image operations) Runs 'only' on a 64-bit Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10, Win11)
Advantages of IrfanView 32-bit over 64-bit version:
Runs on a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
Loads all files/images for normal needs (max. RAM size is about 1.3 GB)
Needs less disc space
All PlugIns will work: not all PlugIns are ported (yet) to 64-bit
Notes:
You can install both versions on the same system
just use different folders
Available 64-bit downloads

if people want to install both versions for some reason, it
looks like the placement in different folders should happen
automatically.
Of course, if the file you're opening is huge, then you need 64-bit.
But otherwise, wouldn't the 32-bit Irfanview be the better (faster) choice?
I haven't benchmarked them, but most people seem to
feel that either version is pretty fast. If you don't
need to edit gigabyte-sized pictures, I'd go with the
32-bit version and plugin compatibility.
