Does portable_mode.txt work? If it does, where are the config files stored? The current directory where the AppImage is located?

It seems this is impossible with AppImage.

Yeah, not possible by design, there's no place to store the data safely, but portable mode still works with the app image, the data will be written in the default temp directory (for example that's usually /tmp/ecode_portable).
