Settings are not stored in portable install when moved to a new location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install windows binary
2. Copy installation folder to a new location
3. Create .editra in this new location to make this a portable version
4. Change settings
5. Move/copy this folder to a new place
6. Observe that settings are lost!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected settings would be moved with portable install.

Editra Version 0.5.32
Platform Info: (win32, python 2.5.4,wxMSW 2.8.10.1, unicode, wx-assertions-
on, SWIG-1.3.29)

folder in this directory.

Hi,

What do you mean by "move/copy the folder some place else"?

Do you mean that you made the .editra directory, ran editra, saved some 
settings,
then moved the .editra folder someplace else? Or did you move the entire Editra
installation directory?

Hi Cody,

I meant, I created .editra, ran editra, made changes to settings, quit.  Then 
moved 
the whole editra directory including the .editra sub-directory somewhere else 
(say a 
USB drive).  When I run editra again, my settings are reverted back to the 
default!

Cheers,
-- Amal

The profiler loader stores the last used profile as an absolute path. When 
running
with portable config directory need to use relative paths.

Thanks for looking into this.  Would it be possible to provide a PortableApp 
install 
(.paf) or even a portable zip file for each release as well?

Thanks,

Should be fixed in the current svn.

Feel free to enter a separate feature request about distributing a portable 
install file.
