My understanding of making Mudlet portable was providing different binaries that don't require installation with an option to select where settings should be stored, with one of the options being...

Agree. Relative location and... some way to transfer your existing profiles to a USB?

@AlysCole some discussion here on making the profile location customisable

There is progress but it's not done yet - feel free to pitch in!

Have a look at https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/pull/1695 and https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/pull/2353 for some prior at on this.

Yup, still an issue, feel free to pick this one up! I believe https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/pull/2353 was the latest piece of work on this and what was tricky was closing & reopening...

I took some time to think about it, and I think it works great. How about this: * use a `portable.txt` ala Dolphin, with two paths in order of importance...

Perfect! How about `~/.config/mudlet/portable.ini`? Would be nice to use a standard for this.

Fair. Let's go with a plain file instead that shows the location of the data.
