I would like to run qutecom from a stick (portable)
But I don't know what they mean in these instructions? If some could help with translation in to "no tech language". (seen below) their link: http://trac.qutecom.org/wiki/UserDocumentation
Thanks
Alvin
Running from USB stick
Default config directories
On windows : home/Application Data/qutecom-2.2
On linux: home/.qutecom-2.2
On mac: home/Library/Application Support/qutecom-2.2
you may specify different directory by "-q"
qutecom -q
it's parsed from wengophone/src/model/config/CommandLineParser.cpp
function std::string getDefaultUserConfigDir(const std::string)

They're saying you could specify the data directory like this:

Hey,
I packaged a portable version of QuteCom.
You can download qutecom portable from my blog
Enjoy
(note that you need to run the runme.bat file there)
BTW, it really is a neat thing to have, would love to help portableapps.com to make it avilable here.

That's not in the PortableApps.com Format. If you want to post it here at all it needs to be in the PortableApps.com Format.

Hey Chris,
Well, honestly I am not sure how to do that.
Plus all my computers here are running on Linux so it makes that kind of development uneasy.
But nevertheless, will this do the trick? :
From a brief look it should not be hard to make. Simply place the binaries in the App folder, and make runme.bat call -q ..\Data . That should make things run according to your spec.
And appinfo.ini is trivial.
All that is left from there is to make a QuteComPortable.exe luncher for the .bat file (any ideas how to do that?).
It should not be hard to stick the source in the Source folder, but I am not sure how to compile this kind of stuff in windows.
If I done this, would that suit your spec? or did I miss anyhing?

I would recommend that you take a look at my/our PortableApps.com Launcher, the way we're heading with launchers. The launcher configuration file would then just be something like this:
Then I would recommend that you take a thorough look through it to see if it's doing anything like storing drive letters which can be updated.
As for developing on Linux, I've done most of the work on the PortableApps.com Launcher as it currently is on Linux with Wine. At home I use Ubuntu (when at Uni I use XP which is sometimes useful for testing).

Yes, that should do the trick.
Will look at that once I get the time (which I lack of at the moment).
