Windows: html-notepad.json saved in AppData\Roaming\
On the download page you say "the application is portable by its nature" which is true for the exe/dll but settings are saved in c:\users...\AppData\Roaming\html-notepad.json - for use in a flash drive it would be nice(r) to have the settings saved to the application folder.

There are two pieces of data in html-notepad.json
- window position and window size related data.
- MRU lists - folders, open files and their content if it was not saved.
I agree that in portable scenario MRU data shall go somewhere else, like flash drive. But what about No 1 ? If you have two different systems with two different monitor setups window position will be wrong. Or shall we just discard persistence of UI state in portable case?
Either discard it as you say or simply check/ensure that at least the top left part of the title bar is visible on the main monitor - that way the user can easily drag it back into view or simply double click the title and expand into a full window.
Another user here wishing for full portability of html-notepad. I agree with suggestions made by @lintalist
I am also for full portable mode.
Any progress on that?
