Option ediitng dialogs are in two tabs: General and Advanced.
Proxy related options are left in the proxy tab. Options
config_dir, config_ext, log_dir, script timeouts and
service-only flag are in the Advanced tab. All other more commonly
used flags and options are in the General tab.
- As options are editable, save values in registry only when they differ
from the default values. This leaves the registry clean and makes changing
options and their defaults during updates easier.
- Entries for config_dir and log_dir must be absolute paths.
Environemental variables such as %PROFILEDIR% may be used
to construct these.
- Empty config_dir, config_ext and log_dir entries are silently
ignored (i.e., the current values are left unchanged).
- Store all numeric and boolean parameters in registry as DWORD instead of
strings.
- On startup, the default parameters are loaded, then the registry is read
and finally command-line parameters parsedi.
- Out of range script timeout values in registry truncated with a
warning instead of fatal error. This allows the user to access the
settings dialog and make corrections.
- Save proxy and language settings under the same
HKCU\Software\OpenVPN-GUI key as other options instead of under Nilings.
- Save the current version of the GUI in regsitry so that updates
can be detected and any needed registry cleanup done.
- If no version info is present in the registry any values in OpenVPN-GUI
key in HKCU are deleted for a clean start as this is the first version
to save registry values in HKCU. Language and proxy data if present
under Nilings is migrated.
Note: new controls in the General tab and newly added Advanced tab dialog
are copied to all language files from the English version. These need to
be translated.

- Username and, optionally, password as well as the private
key passphrase are saved in config-specific registry keys
- All saved data are kept encrypted using DPAPI
- The passphrase dialog is skipped if a valid saved private
key password is available. However, the user-auth dialog
is always presented, prefilled with the saved username
and password.
Note: A text string "Save password" is added to three dialogs
in all language resource files. Additional text with ids
IDS_MENU_CLEARPASS and IDS_NFO_DELETE_PASS are added to the
STRINGTABLE only in the English language resource file.
All these need translations.
