Portable Wing

Portable Wing

i'm using wingpro on windows and i want to make it 100% portable.

i know about 'user-settings' folder and it works great but what about the cache folder?

of course i can use an argument in the command line or create .bat file but i run wingpro from a usb flash on different computers and my usb drive can have different drive letters assigned.

i've tried to create 'user-cache' folder but it (obviously) didn't work. is there any way to store the cache inside wingpro installation folder?

You can specify where the cache directory is located with the command line argument --cache=fullpath. This and other command line options are documented at https://wingware.com/doc/install/comm... and I think it should be possible to write a .bat to put on the USB drive and then start Wing with that.

Since you mention using a .bat I'm not sure if I'm answering your question. I think the command line option is the only way to do this, though.

thank you, but as i mentioned, usb drive has different drive letters on different computers.

i think adding a 'user-cache' folder feature would be a good request ;)

I'm no expert on .bat files but I'm pretty sure you could write one to place onto the USB drive and have it convert a partial path into a full path and then send that to Wing with --cache=. The following seems to be relevant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...
