Title: Can't make CodeBlocks portable
Post by: tumanovalex on April 02, 2025, 10:06:11 am

Hello!
I would like to transfer CodeBlocks between different PCs with the settings I need. I downloaded codeblocks-25.03-nosetup.zip, unzipped the contents of the archive into the CodeBlocks directory on disk N, and ran CbLauncher.exe . The directory appeared N:\CodeBlocks\AppData , where the directories are located N:\CodeBlocks\AppData\codeblocks .
I started codeblocks, a message appeared about the absence of a compiler and the need for a dictionary, and a directory appeared C:\Users\alex\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks .
I configured Codeblocks and copied the files from the directory C:\Users\alex\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks to the directory with the program. After that, I deleted the directory C:\Users\alex\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks and launched codeblock again.
The directory appeared again C:\Users\alex\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks with the file C:\Users\alex\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks\default.cbKeyBinder20.conf and a message about the need to install a dictionary. As I understand it, fully portable CodeBlocks should not create anything on the C disk and only work with files in the program directory. By the link https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=SpellChecker_plugin I haven't been able to figure out how to install the dictionary.
Please tell me how to make CodeBlocks portable and with a dictionary.

? I think a good portable usage is through:
1) Use CbLauncher.exe to start C::B on Computer A.
2) Copy all the files in your C::B folder to the corresponding directory on Computer B.
3) Use CbLauncher.exe to start C::B on Computer B.
