Yeah those things should be easy to implement, great idea, I'll do it after the weekend. I'll auto load on startup, but do you want a save button or should I have it so when the app is closed is saves whatever settings are current.
You may be right about the directory thing, I think UAC has some effect too(for me anyway) It's easier to just ask for admin rights though so I ensure everyone is on the same page & can eliminate that as an issue.
Perhaps just a tickbox for saving whatever value is there? Or maybe just default it to doing that I guess, I can't imagine it would be a big problem for anyone (lots of apps work that way anyhow). So I think overall just saving whatever the last settings were is the more elegant way to do it.
The only reason I'd want an option to turn off the request for admin is to avoid having to do the extra click to allow it, really. But I can understand wanting to eliminate that as a problem, it's really annoying.
Edit: Just thought of a couple more things in line with that suggestion that would be nice.
If it could save the settings for the rest of the form, including the on/off state of the FP mode and camera distance on/off, as well as the max distance like for the FOV, that would be ideal. It might also be worthwhile to color code the On/Off buttons for FP mode and the camera zoom to indicate what state they're in (green outline on the On button, red on the Off, perhaps?).
If all the fields auto-saved the last values and auto-set when it loads, just like the FOV, that would be great since you could set it once and then just load it after GW2 is open and not have to mess with the values or the toggles.
