Or implement option to specify data and settings files directory without WeekToDo installation.

I don't wanna to install, just prefer to unpack archive and launch.

Hmmm this could be done, but I don't know how well the integration with the open on startup option works. I give it a try it for the next version and if there are not many adjustments to make, we will include it.

Thanks for the suggestion @Twilightssuperb :+1:

Any news since v.2.0.0 is released?

Hi @Twilightssuperb I remembered your request but I had doubts about the intention that I think you have with this. Making the app portable does not guarantee that the data will be transported from one place to another. The app is made with Electron and the data is stored in the configuration folder.

In the roadmap of the project is to create an integration with cloud services so that the user can easily synchronize the information between devices, if this is what you want.

There are also users who have using as a workaround https://syncthing.net/ for example for this purpose or any other service to sync folders in cloud storage serveces.

I mean no registry traces and neither traces on the OS folders (C:\Users\Data\ etc.), that's why I usually prefer portable apps. :) Lots of Electron based apps supports portable mode.

@Twilightssuperb I see, in the case of those apps I imagine that they are using an external database or with a local file. Weektodo uses an indexed db that is typical of the electron / browser configuration, and the files are stored in the user folder. At least for now, or is it my intention to change the system configuration management for this specific case.

In the roadmap, the next step is the synchronization between devices that includes the repositioning of the data as physical files in the cloud (and one may be implemented for a specific directory). Once this is done and with this configuration activated, a portable app may can be functional
