[SUGGESTION] Portable release #11

Closed RndUsr123 closed 9 months ago

RndUsr123 commented 9 months ago

This program is already great; it's functional, lightweight and privacy-friendly yet it's missing a key feature that would make it even better: portable mode.

The uninstaller is over 10 times the size of the executable itself and the only config file required amounts to a grand total of 3 fields... I can see why some users might prefer the installer but I think a portable version would be fitting too :)

I appreciate the great suggestion!

This weekend a new version will be released, and I'll package a portable option alongside the installer which will be a standalone .exe download. I'll also include one for the latest version (v1.2.5).

Reopening as I noticed the portable release still uses %localappdata%\ThreeFingerDrag to save the config file. Saving preferences alongside the .exe makes it easier to backup/move the program as well as running it from external media.

Good to know! I'll work on implementing that behavior before I bundle the portable release in v1.2.6.
