Jonne,
UAC bites again, lol. Yes, naali must be opening
data/default_bindings.ini read/*write*. In Vista and Windows 7, files
under Program Files really shouldn't be opened for write. If UAC
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control) is on, then
Windows denies all attempts to write in Program Files.
This applies even if you are using it with an administrator account.
However, you are correct that "Run as Administrator" will work. When I
ran as administrator, I was able to "Reset to Defaults". So, that is
the best workaround yet.

*Shack* Well if you don't get any keys with default bindings then this
is different. My best guess is that you don't have a admin account or
you are not running in administrator mode. We are using Qt frameworks
QSettings to do there .ini configs, I tell QSettings to open
data/default_bindings.ini this might require read and *write *access
to the file. I'm not sure if we are still having issues to run naali
with write access under program files if you are not admin.
You can try this:
1. Remove
c:\users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\realXtend\bindings\current.ini this
will force Naali to get data\default_bindings.ini on the next start
2. Locate your Naali install folder, right click on the folder ->
Properties, with the attributes and un-check "Read-only" if set. Do
the same for <naali_install>\data should apply this to
default_bindings.ini
3. Go to Naali install folder and right click on viewer.exe -> Run As
Administrator
This is not a proper solution but if you do this and get bindings
loaded ok then we have more data to fix the bug. If it works you could
do only steps 1. 3. first, might do the trick also. As we have had run
as administrator fix things that write inside data folder. I think the
proper solution is to only read data/default_bindings.ini and writing
it to same place once as current.ini in appdata. Thanks for reporting
back so we can make Naali better :)
Ps. We should make a separated thread for "Having problems with Naali
0.2.0", Ryan?

That's some pretty tireless work there. :)
