#272 userdefined SciteUser-path for USB sticks

[Anonymous]

Hi,

i want to run SciTE from an usb device. Therefore the
SciTEUser.properties file has to be placed in the
application directory, not in MyDocs. Ther is no
configvalue to switch in the SciTEglobals.properties
file the path to be searched for SciTEUser.properties.
I have to set USERPROFILE=empty to force SciTE to lokk
in app-folder.

Could you include such a config-switch?

best regards
Sascha

Adding a switch to SciTEGlobal.properties makes it harder to
upgrade SciTE versions by replacing SciTEGlobal.properties
so this won't be added.

The currently recommended way of running from a USB key is
to create a batch file in the SciTE directory with

set SciTE_HOME=.
start .\SciTE

Hi Neil,
With a batch file works, but after that [import *] not works or
directory=./
import $(directory)/myproperty
I could do it with import ../myproperty
I would be great to set up in config files where to save session file

Did you try setting SciTE_USERHOME as described in the explanation for save.session? This was introduced in 2016 with [feature-requests:#965].

import * is relative to the file containing the statement so you could copy any wanted .properties into that directory.
