Bug ID: 407311
Summary: ZIP File Windows Bundles
Product: digikam
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Bundle-Windows
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: librestep...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The overall goal is a portable version of digiKam on Windows, in the sense that
it can run from portable storage (a removable drive). I understand the
performance concerns, and expect that it would be run from Thunderbolt or fast
USB drives.
I posted a batch file that makes portable the AppData\Local folder. I also
posted instructions. I welcome feedback. My post is at

The digiKam team can help by making available for download two Zip files (a
64-bit and a 32-bit version) containing the exe, dll, and other run files. This
would be for each release in the stable branch of digiKam. Given the work
involved in creating the snapshots, it would be understandable to limit the Zip
files to the stable releases.
Without Zip files, users have two options, neither of which is very good.
Option one: download an installer (exe), run it and install to the hard disk,
copy the installed files/folders to a removable drive, and uninstall from the
hard disk. Option two: use something like Universal Extractor on an installer
(exe), which can do an imperfect extraction.
