Portable version? #160

Closed poblabs closed 10 years ago

poblabs commented 11 years ago

Would love to see this portable so I can throw it on my USB stick along with todo.txt and have it on the go. Especially useful for work where we're not supposed to install anything on those devices.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. This should be fairly easy - just requires changing where the user setting are stored and re-doing the installer.

As a result of MS end-of-lifing the installer tech I'm using, I have to re-do the installer at some stage anyway. When I do, I'll look at a portable option.

Is this something we could tweak after it's been installed - to make it portable?

benrhughes commented 10 years ago

Unfortunately not. Following the MS recommendations, todotxt stores is settings file in %appdata%. For a portable version we'd need a code change so that the settings file could be in the same directory as the exe. On 10 Jan 2014 08:18, "drsprite" notifications@github.com wrote:

Oh I see. Okay thanks. I'll look forward to the portable edition.

Looks interesting - also looks a bit over my head too! (I'm not an application programmer) :smiley:
