Portable Edition for flash drive

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm in the process of replacing that horrid AllWaySync program with this fast
and feature-full one.

Is there a way to create a portable version of this application? After
performing a "regshot" I noticed that it's global settings are stored here on
the Windows XP Pro platform:
C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\Application Data\FreeFileSync

Is there a way to get these settings to load in the program's root directory
rather than creating a directory under "Application Data"?

Thanks,
Matt

Yes, you can use the *.zip version of the tool. This is the *official*
portable version.

Thanks a bunch! This saves a lot of time.

I did create the following script:
`@echo off
rd "%userprofile%\Application Data\FreeFileSync" /s /q
mkdir "%userprofile%\Application Data\FreeFileSync"
copy ".\FreeFileSync\GlobalSettings.xml" "%userprofile%\Application
Data\FreeFileSync\GlobalSettings.xml"
copy ".\FreeFileSync\LastRun.ffs_gui.home" "%userprofile%\Application
Data\FreeFileSync\LastRun.ffs_gui"
start "" ".\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe"`

Though this script is now pointless, I do have one recommendation.

I will be working in an environment where drive letters will be constantly
changing. After saving my configuration to the root path where this awesome
program resides, the configuration then appears in the configuration picker at
the lower left (after saving). The only modification I made was to the
GlobalSettings.xml file. Under the configuration history section, I changed
the path from the long path (C:\documents and settings...) to
.\SyncHome.ffs_gui

Not really sure if it's necessary to include such a feature; however, perhaps
it may be beneficial to include all .ffs_gui files that reside in the root of
the program's directory in the configuration picker, at least for the portable
.zip edition of this program.

Everything seems to be working perfectly.

Thanks again,
Matt.

This would be a change in semantics of the config-history box. Currently it is
used for config files that have been loaded at least once. I think showing all
available config files is more the job of the file selection menu when
clicking on "load config" button.
