Preset changes not saved on non-admin session about fileconverter HOT 10 CLOSED

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback ! I never tried File Converter on a non-admin account so your feedback is really helpful.

Normally you should be able to edit existing conversion presets without admin right (without changing the input types and renaming the preset).
I use admin rights to be able to modify the windows explorer menu in the registry (to add new compatible formats and new preset).

I'll test the software on a non-admin account and try to find a solution for editing presets with restricted permissions but it was not designed to be possible.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I have exactly the same issue as gupascal, down to every detail. Indeed this program is a great initiative!

Best regards and thanks.

Yep I just ran into this as well, same issue as gupascal and janthefactor. I was going to use this as an easy solution for a user that needs to shrink some images occasionally.

Thanks for cleaning up the tickets. Some are linked to this topic here, that FileConverter only works if you have admin rights.
I think it would be great if this would be adjusted, especially since (in my opinion) there are many user without admin rights on the PC.
And also according to security guidelines to use accounts without admin rights as long as you don't need them. So, it would be great, to see FileConverter usable without an admin privilages.

Yes I agree with you, I think this will be my next focus, but I don't know when I will have time to work on this.

Any news or target date? Still can't use it (because no admin privilages). :-(
