Feature request: Allow the use to uncheck the Recursive option of the "content" path in portable mode #1957

Closed AnabasisXu closed 3 days ago

Please add a feature to allow the reader to uncheck the Recursive option of content folder in the Dictionaries--Sources--Files--PATH.

Currently, one can add any folder and uncheck them, but any dictionary in the content folder will be scanned and added in portable mode, because the Recursive option is checked by default and can not be unchecked in portable mode,.

I know that a workaround is to create a new folder such as "content1" under the GoldenDict folder, and then add sub folders there to the PATH so that you can check/uncheck the Recursive option. But that would means that I need to move all my dictionaries out and redo the indexing...

as designed.

maybe you should not use portable mode. delete the portable folder alongside with the content folder.
