Saving all settings/profile/mails on other drive

Hi,

I am put ThunderbirdPortable into D:\Progs\Thunderbird
All my files will be saved in Data/profile, Data/plugins, Data/setting folders now.

How i can replace folder for all settings/profile/mails/plugins to other disk (C:, F: ... not D!).
in Source/ThunderbirdPortable.ini i can use onle *relative* path. Why not absolute path?

in Readme.txt
The ThunderbirdDirectory, ProfileDrectory, PluginsDirectory and SettingsDirectory entries
should be set to the *relative* path to the directories containing Thunderbird.exe, your
profile, your plugins, etc. from the current directory.

why make the app un-portable ?

the way portable apps work is to contain the app and related files (including registry settings, etc) in a known space. you are asking for that to be undone or in plain words broken. why are you using a PA if you want to spread the files it needs onto other disks?

Use Regular Thunderbird

If you want an absolute path on another drive, just install regular Thunderbird and launch it with the -profile switch pointing to your profile.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
