Hi, why this fdmPortable downloading to app folder and then move downloaded files to data folder?
[FileWrite4]
Type=Replace
File=%PAL:DataDir%\portabledata\settings.ini
Find=@PLACEHOLDER-DEFAULT-DOWNLOADS-FORWARDSLASH@
Replace=%PAL:AppDir:ForwardSlash%/FreeDownloadManager/Downloads
[DirectoriesMove]
portabledata=%PAL:AppDir%\FreeDownloadManager\portabledata
localdata=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Softdeluxe\Free Download Manager
Downloads=%PAL:AppDir%\FreeDownloadManager\Downloads
You can set download path to fdmPortable data folder.

Free Download Manager stores the current path as appdir\Downloads in its SQLite settings database. Setting it up to the Data directory directly causes it to portablize it based on the drive root. This will break for users that use it synced between multiple PCs from a cloud folder when the PCs have different logins. So, for the first releases, I set it to move back and forth. I'll likely add some custom code to set it to that directory on each launch in Data so it doesn't have to move at some point.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
