Make the program portable

Open julkue opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

It would be great if the program could be used on a usb. The problem with this is, that projects and other configurations are saved on the local documents (windows). I think that would be a simple relative path change but with great impact.

I know this is not very beautiful but since the developer thinks this is not so important to work on it, this is the only workaround: Go to the directory where the .koala-folder is saved locally (C:\Users\YourName). Open a CMD and type in: mklink .koala [YOUR PATH] /D This will create a symlink to the portable koala installation (e.g. on a USB).

It seems as a great feature to add on. Congrats!!

I'm really looking for a portable version, not only because it runs from a usb/external hard drive, but because it doesn't modify the operating system, it saves its configuration inside the folder where the application resides. Even SublimeText or Visual Code Studio have a portable version and this issue is from 2014 wow
