Installed to F:\PortableApps\JartePortable. First run data dir is JartePortable\Data.
Moved to F:\JartePortable. It now asks to confirm license & uses JartePortable\Data\Data (losing settings).
Moved back to F:\PortableApps\JartePortable. Uses JartePortable\Data again.
look at it but since that part of coding was not mine will have to familarize myself
If it's broken then it could be a PAL bug. The dev test was broken and kept settings in App, meaning they'd be wiped out with every upgrade. The release version has this:
[DirectoriesMove]
Data=%PAL:AppDir%\Jarte\Data
It moves JartePortable\Data\Data to JartePortable\App\Jarta\Data and then back on exit. The configuration is correct. It always should be in JartePortable\Data\Data when not running, never in JartePortable\Data. If it's not working, it sounds like we may have found a PAL bug.
Working with a file or directory with the same name as its parent is a dangerous case, due to the general ability to omit the file/directory name in the target path. I'll try to check it out more next week and see if anything can be done about it.
I finally figured this one out. It seems that Jarte detects when its parent directory is "portableapps" and adjusts the way it stores data. I wrote a custom code fix so that data will always wind up the same way and always be adjusted. It's mirroring until tomorrow when it'll be released.
Not sure how I missed/messed up on t all. Sorry to have to make you all work so hard on it.
The fix has been pushed out in Jarte Portable 5.0 Rev 2.
