OpenComic portable version
Hi, The OpenComic app is great, but I miss the portable version for Windows. Is there a chance to add the portable version?
Somewhat late but just create an exe yourself from the source if you really want one.
Could you tell me how to create an exe from the source? If I create such exe, the app will be portable (all files will be stored in one place?
To begin with, you don't need it to be an exe to run it, you can simply run it from source. Look at this section on how to simply start it: https://github.com/ollm/OpenComic#installation-and-starting-for-development
If you want to make an exe, then simply use something like electron-builder.
Although I have not tried it, with this you should be able to create a portable version.
Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/ollm/OpenComic.git
cd OpenComic
npm install
npm install --only=dev
npm run rebuild
Build portable version
npm run prebuild
electron-builder --win portable
More info https://www.electron.build/configuration/nsis#portable
Even so, I will keep in mind the portable version for the next version of OpenComic
Thank you for your explanation. To use npm like that I should install node.js? It would be great if you could add the portable version. I've tried many apps to read comics but yours is the best :)

Yes, also you need to install git for clone the repository.
