I am trying to convert an application into a portable form.
The application only creates a folder named AppName
in %APPDATA%
.
My question is, what's the proper way to configure the launcher?
I thought about something like:
[DirectoriesMove]
AppName=%APPDATA%\AppName
My question is, how it handles the case %APPDATA%\AppName
already defined?
From documentation I get it is first coped and kept as backup and then the local copy is copied.
Then I wonder how it handles crashes.
Namely let's say I run the application on a computer with a pre installed version.
The computer crashes and then the user ruin the pre installed version of the application. The application will find the portable app settings on the path, right?
Anything more advanced to handle such simple case?
