Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] PortableApps.com and Stellarium

Thanks for your email.  That is a great idea.  I don't recall having
that feature in Stellarium yet, but I may have missed that as a lot has
been happening lately.

I am forwarding this to the development mailing list so that someone
more knowledgeable about this can answer your question.  

Best regards,

Rob
