The IceViewer INI File

The IceViewer can be preconfigured for all Users on the system by using the MSI Installer with the INI file. The INI file used during installation will be referenced as the primary INI file.

The IceViewer will create a secondary INI file for each user that the user can access. The user’s INI file will be referenced as User INI file.

The primary INI file is located in the IceViewer installation folder:

By default, on 64-bit operating systems

For the 64-bit IceViewer:

For the 32-bit IceViewer, and for IceViewer versions below 13.30 (formerly TIFF Viewer):

By default, on 32-bit operating systems

The primary INI file has the preconfigured settings used at the installation and all the settings found on the Administrator tab in IceViewer Options. The following INI file options can be modified or enabled only by the Administrator in the primary INI file: ‘Enable_File_Navigation’, ‘Enable_Thumbnail_Browser’, ‘Enable_Send_In_Email’, ‘Enable_Upload_To_SharePoint’, ‘Enable_OCR’, ‘Enable_Scan’, ‘Enable_Redact’, ‘Enable_Copy’, ‘Enable_Cut’, ‘Enable_Paste’, ‘Enable_Burning_Annotations’, ‘Enable_Page_Move’, ‘Enable_Page_Cut’, ‘Enable_Page_Insert’, ‘Enable_Page_Merge_Text_With_Image’, ‘Enable_File_Split’, ‘Enable_File_Cut’, ‘Enable_File_Delete’, ‘Enable_Color_Mode_Color’, ‘Enable_Color_Mode_Gray’, ‘Enable_Color_Mode_Mono’, ‘Enable_Change_Resolution’, ‘Enable_Rotation’, ‘Enable_Flip’, ‘Enable_Invert’, ‘Enable_Crop’, ‘Enable_Signature’, ‘Enable_Cleanup_Clean_Slow’, ‘Enable_Cleanup_Deskew’, ‘Enable_Cleanup_Punch_Hole’, ‘Enable_Cleanup_Black_Border’, ‘Enable_Cleanup_Lines’, ‘Quick_Copy_Page_Limit’, ‘Enable_SharePoint_Upload’, ‘Enable_Send_Email’.

NOTE: In order to make sure users cannot edit the primary INI file of the IceViewer, install the IceViewer into the default directory, or make sure the IceViewer is installed into a directory which can be modified only by the Administrator.

The User INI files are located at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Black Ice IceViewer\IceViewer.ini

The User INI file is generated when the IceViewer runs for the first time. Once a user change any of the IceViewer options, the changes are written into only the User INI file.

NOTE: If the User manually deletes settings from the User INI file, IceViewer will look for the missing settings in the primary INI file.
