Problems with Portability

[cptharris]

I just found out about this portable version of GithubDesktop after looking for a portable option at the official version. After using it, I've discovered an error in its execution. Most portable apps from PortableApps.com launch AppNamePortable.exe, which moves files, directories, and registry entries around. It then runs AppName.exe. When AppName.exe closes, AppNamePortable.exe brings the files, directories, etc. back.

What I've noticed (and I hope is an easy fix) is that GithubDesktopPortable.exe runs, moves files and directories, launches GithubDesktop.exe, and then closes. It shouldn't close, and I think this may be related to the problem that #10 was describing. Is there a way to ensure that GithubDesktopPortable.exe stays open and cleans up the directories/registry when GithubDesktop.exe closes? I would try to modify it myself, but I'm not sure what needs to be changed.

I have same problem with this portable version. It says an instance is already running. But there's none.

I hope Github will consider this request of having official portable version, at least for use of students.
