Is there a way to specify the data directory? #125

Is there a way to specify the data directory?

Example, the windows "portable" zip puts the data in the usual place which is not really portable. Is there a command line option or other method to specify the location of the data directory?

I'm also curious for Linux too.

Unfortunately, not yet. But I''ve just added a function that can switch data and config path to a relative path at start. I call it PORTABLE mode. Enable it just by placing an empty file named "PORTABLE.txt" under the directory where the binary executable of GpgFrontend located.

Any advice?

This portable mode is added to the current develop source code. It will take effect at v2.1.2. 36509c76e
