Understood. I normally don't use it from a USB but run it from a <br>local disk on my Windows machine. I prefer portable so that I do not <br>have to install it every time. I guess I can copy the digikamrc file <br>from my installed version to the portable installation to copy my options.<br><br>BTW, I googled a bit and came across this site which hosts a portable <br>version of digiKam 7.0.0 beta1.<br><br>https://foxxapp-paf.blogspot.com/2019/12/digikam-portable-beta.html<br><br>Apparently, it follows the same paf format as PortableApps platform and <br>also installs to the PortableApps directory. A virus check did not show <br>any threats. Is this a genuine port of digiKam? Have not executed it <br>yet. Just want to make sure!<br><br>mj<br><br>On 28.12.2019 01:52 PM, Stephen Leibowitz wrote:<br>> My batch file is useful if you want to run digiKam from a thumb drive or<br>> other removable storage. digiKam does not write to the Windows registry.<br>> Instead, its settings are stored in the digikamrc file.
