The portable version is a single-file executable that stores all its settings and data in a data subfolder within the application directory.

• No Installation Required: Just download and run.
• Easy Backup: Simply copy the application folder to keep your settings.
• Stealthy: Does not write to %APPDATA% unless manually configured otherwise.

Note

To manually enable portable mode on any installer build, create an empty file named .portable in the same directory as the executable.
