It's about a third of the way down under "How do I specify the location of the profile folder?". I don't know if this helps at all, but I use the portable version of RSSOwl from their own site and have relocated the prefs and feeds folder by following the instructions on their forum here. opml file that formed the template for the first run of RSSOwl. The second 2 FileWrite commands don't work properly (I think), and "jopt" was my folder for storing a generic. I took a personal shot at RSSOwl at some point, and I'll post my launcher.ini file so that it might help you:įile=%PAL:DataDir%\profile\.rssowl2\backup.opmlĬonfiguration=%PAL:AppDir%\rssowl\configuration Admittedly, it's not that hard to make one portable now, but it's still a little bit of a problem. The last issue is that, yes, it's a Java application. I forget if those values are useful in any practical way, but they need to be dealt with. The second thing to note is that RSSOwl uses the registry by itself, because it's an Eclipse-based application. There are ways of specifying an alternate browser location, but the database is not text editor friendly, so dynamically assigning the custom browser to something like Chrome or Firefox portable is hard, if not impossible. The first of which is that the built-in browser uses IE, which pretty much stops it from being fully portable immediately. There's a few problems with making the application "completely portable". For now, I think the best option would be to try to use the current (outdated) version here, which is the one I assume you were talking about, and put the files from the newest version of RSSOwl in there. ![]()
