First, based on https://portableapps.com/apps/development
There is a section for
Text Editors & Integrated Development Environmentsin theDevelopmentcategory.I think since VSCodium is text editor that is more close to IDE with proper extensions, it should fell into the category of
Developmentinstead ofUtilities.The same goes for your other apps of Arduino IDE v1 and v2

Second, based on https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/command-line
By using
datafolder, we could launch the program in portable mode.But it seems awkward, since the saved data itself is in the
PAL:AppDirfolder instead ofPAL:DataDir
.Some people have made it without the data folder, but there'll be registry things that needs to be removed out, so messy, https://github.com/Makazzz/VSCodiumPortable/blob/master/VSCodiumPortable...
In any case, I don't know how to deal with this. Albeit awkward, it is still perfectly functional.
Thank you for the heads up about the "Development" tag. I've been updating them as I go. Some of the apps were already... the web page just did not reflect it. I do a lot of apps, so sometimes I lose track of stuff.
As for the portable mode... that is already what is happening here. Go into the ~/App/x64/ directory, and see there is a
datafolder present.Thanks for the update, the category is good now.

What I mean is that, the
PAL:DataDirfolder seems to have no purpose.The real data is in the
datafolder instead.It is 100% functional, but it's just weird to me.
The Data directory is for other windows settings, etc. It is a part of portableapps, not the application itself. I'm sure I could make the folder that folder with the FileWrite commands or whatever, but there isn't really much need to.
Yes, VSCodium's settings are stored at
U:\PortableApps\VSCodiumPortable\App\x64\data, but since it's under the folderU:\PortableApps\VSCodiumPortable\App\, but not folderU:\PortableApps\VSCodiumPortable\Data\, this importantdatafolder (storing all settings & installed extensions of VSCodium) will be overwritten/removed when updating VSCodium in the future, or simply when re-installing the .paf.exe again. This will results in losing all critical & important settings of VSCodium, so could you please fix this? Many thanks.i have a command in the installer.ini file telling it to preserve the ~/x64/data directory during an update... is it not working properly? this is news to me.
[DirectoriesToPreserve]PreserveDirectory1=App\x64\data
I tried upgrading to v1.109.51242 by clicking the "Install a New App [paf.exe]" from the Launcher and selecting the downloaded
VSCodiumPortable_1.109.51242_Dev_Test_1.paf.exe, but then:https://i.imgur.com/atQ2Ug3.png
Clicking the "Retry" will be stuck in an infinite loop in the above window, whereas clicking the "Cancel" will get:
https://i.imgur.com/Wvt9mwe.png
So the
U:\PortableApps\VSCodiumPortable\App\x64\datafolder became empty after upgrading to the latest version, and all settings & extensions are lost.From my understanding, it's a common practice to store data, settings, extensions, etc. to
~\VSCodiumPortable\Data\instead of~\VSCodiumPortable\App\x64\data\, in order to avoid this type of issues during upgrade. So could you please fix it? Many thanks.Was the app running while you were trying to upgrade?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
No, I've already closed it. And I had double-checked this by opening task managers like process hacker.
It looks like the settings aren't portablized into Data nor adjusted on moves in this package. You'll lose your settings on each upgrade.
