Title: Portable settings
Post by: Wokky on October 06, 2008, 01:12:04 pm

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there any way to force CodeBlocks to look for a default.conf inside it's own folder before checking inside of the user area?

If that does not fit your needs, you can use a different personality (e.g. "mobile").

Start C::B from console or from a batch-file with the "-p" parameter (e.g. "-p mobile").
That will create a "mobile.conf" and maybe other conf-/ini-files from plugins in the default folder (all called "mobile.*").

Move the files in the directory where your mobile executable is, and start it with the same parameter set.

If you do so, it should not conflict with a C::B installation in the default folder on the PC where you use your USB-Stick (or whatever you have).

Thanks very much, that's exactly what I needed. :)
