Re: [BUG] Portable installation is broken in v8.0

Just for the record, I don't know what you are trying to hide, but apparently you secretly added some code to record (or collect?) user's information. What exactly it is for, we have no idea yet.

When choosing a directory from the drop-down list on the left, it would be quite convenient if the drop-down list on the right could automatically select the corresponding directory which was paired with the directory on the left in previous synchronization. A very simple feature but essentially use...
