Portable build #9088
Closed
Description
As user, I'd like to run Brackets without running an installer and without making any changes to my computer outside the Brackets app folder. I want to place Brackets on a thumb drive and have it work the same on any computer I plug the thumb drive into.
This also provides an escape hatch for non-admin Windows users (but see #1004 for the "real" solution to that).
Criteria
- Preferences/cache stored in app folder, not global user folder
- Shell settings (e.g. window size) stores in app folder, not global user registry keys
- Look for extensions in app folder. Don't look in global user folder.
- Installing extensions places them in app folder, not global user folder.
- Disable all Brackets UI related to file associations.
- Any registry keys brackets-shell sets automatically on startup (e.g. ProgID) shouldn't be touched in portable version.
