Ciao Robin Unfortunately, though it would make a USB install work on ONE machine it would not be portable. For two reasons...
1 - The settings would get written to a user settings directory that is not portable on the main drive (it IS possible to enforce a sub-dir for settings but the settings it holds aren't themselves portable) 2 - The paths of the wikis (as far as I tested) would be absolute. In other words if you unplugged that USB & plugged it into another computer, even with a fixed drive letter with all the TWikis on it, it would not work. It could work IF you ONLY wanted to run from the USB assigned to a drive letter AND you enforced settings writing to a sub-dir of the app. Too complicated for easy portability I think. @TiddlyTweeter On Tuesday, 1 May 2018 00:51:17 UTC+2, Robin wrote: > > Don't know if u are using windows, but if u do it doesn't support relative > paths > > 2 ways to get around that are > > - Give your USB a dedicated drive name like Q or Z > - Use a .bat file to reference to that file > > @echo off > start "" "%~dp0\\ProgramFolder\program.exe" > > > > > Op maandag 2 april 2018 12:09:53 UTC+2 schreef @TiddlyTweeter: >> >> I would like to be able to configure TiddlyDesktop to be portable. >> >> By "portability" I mean here both being able to get the settings into a >> subdirectory of the app. (achieved) AND the wikis addressed using RELATIVE >> addressing (failed). >> >> I tried several ways to do that modifying files in >> "user-config-tiddlywiki" with relative paths.
