It seems (correct me if this is wrong), that "JoplinPortable.exe", each time you run it, extracts the actual application files in the Temp folder of your user. This is bad for several seasons, many of which have been already pointed out by other users: it is not really clear (and documented) how …

If it's easy to add we'd accept a pull request. I wrote "does not seem" because I am not sure about that (and surely not able to fix it in such a complex project). We won't put resources into this at this point since it works well enough for most people, although I understand part of the portab…

It is worth noting that, at the moment, "JoplinPortable.exe" installs Joplin in a folder of the OS, just like the "normal setup" (it is just in a different folder), but it does it each time you run it (which is much worse for performance and for your disk) is that it writes some files in the folde…

That was not my intention at all. I apologise if my actions were misinterpreted. I'd love to use Joplin as a portable app. I recently came across several forum discussions about various aspects of Joplin Portable (different from the main topic of this thread). I wanted to see if there were any upda…

After my last message, I was expecting (at least some of) those closed topics to be re-opened since they still contain unanswered questions. For instance, the problem described in this one still exists, and the one described here has no solution beside probably my recent proposal that, however, it i…

Lot's of restrictions in this forum... Can't post links to other post in here and when I posted wrongly, not replying as I thought I did I deleted the messege. Clicked "Reply" but was not allowed to post since the text was too similar to my previously (just deleted) post. Maybe this makes it more di…
