Portability of Clipboard Help+Spell

Hi Everyone (and Mouser)

I was wondering about CHS portablity, I noticed that there is a Database and Backup folders inside the program folder, but then noticed that the files used are located in my Documents\donationcoder\Clipboard Help+Spell folder.

Am I missing something? if so what?

Tried searching the forum board, but didn't find it (or was too lazy to skim through the board - sorry  :-[ )

As allways with DonationCoder.com in general and Mouser in particulat - Thanks for such an excellent piece of software.

mouser:
As with most of my programs, you can use them portably, just edit the ConfigDir.ini file and remove the // in front of
// CONFIGDIR = .
to tell the program to use the current directory it's run from to save the date.

Actually I think you should be able to put the line
PORTABLE=TRUE

at the top of the file to have the same effect.

mouser, do you mean that one should be able to, but currently can't because you haven't coded it yet?

mouser:
i just mean i can't remember if the latest build has this -- i think it does.

GSz:
Thank Mouser,

added both PORTABLE=TRUE and CONFIGDIR=..\zData and it worked perfect.

My goal no is to hold all DonationCoder/Mouser applications in a singe folder tree (DonationCoder) where each application has it's own sub-folder, and the data is stored in a centralized location (the zData sub-folder - the "z" is there so it will be last when sorted by name).

One note though - in the configdir.ini file there is the followin statement:

--- ---// NOTE: the company and application subdirectory name will automatically be
//  added to the path specified (except for %APPDIR% which includes the name
//  already, i.e.:
//    "E:\MyCleverSettings" -> "E:\MyCleverSettings\DonationCoder\AppName\"But the DonationCoder\AppName in this case DonationCoder\ClipboardHelpAndSpell was not created under ..\zData
Is that by design, and the statement is wrong, or is it something that will change later on.

Anyway thanks for putting in such a basic configuration option, it makes your software even more useful now that I can synchronize it between computers, and keep a synchronized copy on my USB drive.
