Portable version

I am glad that there is a portable version of Vividl (I always prefer portable programs) but in my opinion version 0.1.0 is not fully portable as it still writes to AppData (user.config file):

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Bluegrams\Vividl.exe_Url_2emrq3scocpo2mxqxzwbdn50ixbadvyb\0.1.0.0\user.config

I think that for the portable version of Vividl this user.config file should be saved next to portable.config file in program folder (the folder which contains the executable- Vividl.exe) which would make the program fully portable (not writing outside program folder).

I've always tried to release portable versions of my apps since you made me aware of this a while ago :)

What you describe is indeed a bug in the current implementation as Vividl should write all configuration to the portable.config file in the executable folder. I've already fixed this and the fix will be released with the next version. Thanks for reporting.

I really appreciate that. When I discovered Vividl by chance at AlternativeTo I was glad it was offered as portable version from the very first release. You have a strong memory. By the way I updated Colora to version 0.3.0 and it is a huge improvement, thanks!

Excellent, thanks, I am waiting for the new release.

The portable version is really fixed- I downloaded and tested version 0.1.1 and Vividl no longer writes outside its own folder (AppData\Local & AppData\Roaming), excellent, thanks.
