Prerelase Windows portable: Write settings and logs into the place one extracted DevToys

[o-l-a-v]

What improvement do you think would an existing feature or tool in DevToys?

I was looking into adding DevToys prereleases to a Scoop manifest, and noticed that some hardcoded paths are being written to.

%LOCALAPPDATA%
├─ DevToys.WebView2
│  └─ *
└─ DevToys-preview
   ├─ Logs
   │  └─ *
   ├─ Plugins
   │  └─ *
   └─ settings.ini

Solution/Idea

Write files to a directory relative to DevToys.exe, to make it really portable.

Maybe <same_dir_as_devtoys.exe>\data\*?

Comments

Here is a Scoop manifest for DevToys Prereleases: https://github.com/o-l-a-v/scoop-bucket/blob/master/bucket/devtoys-prerelease.json.

If anyone wants to test:

PS > scoop bucket add orb https://github.com/o-l-a-v/scoop-bucket
PS > scoop install orb/devtoys-prerelease
