Putting MMF portable inside factorios install folder then adding a version from folder does infinite recursion until harddisk is full #129

Pretty straightforward, mmf copies its own folder and all subdirectories into mmf/factorio/tempFactorio .... and continues so you get Factorio_1.0.0/mmf/factorio/tempfactorio/mmf/factorio/tempfactorio/mmf/factorio/tempfactorio/mmf/factorio/tempfactorio/mmf/factorio/tempfactorio/ etc eventually this will fill the harddisk

MMF was never designed to work in such a configuration so I'm not suprised something funny is happening.

Regardles, this version of MMF is no longer being developed. For the new MMF head over to https://github.com/Artentus/ModMyFactory2
That shouldn't have this issue anymore since I've gone away from copying files entirely.
