Start Screenpresso with a Command-Line-Parameter

Submitted by OLLI_S on September 1, 2023 - 3:45pm

Hello,

the application Screenpresso consists of an EXE file.
When I start it, I can select to install it in my system or to run it portable.
In both cases the application data is stored in the %appdata% folder.

There is a command-line parameter to force Screenpresso to store the user-data in the folder of the EXE file:
--portablemode
I tested this by creating a link that contains the command line parameter and it works.

Good morning,
please I would like to be helped by someone, because my understanding of the English language is very small (I'm Italian).
I've been trying for a long time to get my RealMeteo portable included in the portableapps suite, but I haven't succeeded yet.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Have I forgotten any fulfillment required by the site regulation?
Thank you to anyone who will kindly help me understand where the problem lies.
Cordially.

Programs still write data into %AppData% when launched outside of Start.exe

Submitted by Rediixx on August 7, 2023 - 11:56am

Hi, I'm new to this tool and something that I have noticed is that when launching a program outside of Start.exe the program writes it's data into %AppData%. This also causes the program to have two different set of settings, one with the %AppData% one and another with the portableapps folder.
Is this normal behavior? Can I make it so that this doesn't happen? If possible I would like it to just always save the data into the Portable Apps folder, regardless of how the program is launched.
