portable or zip version

This post was last updated for 286 days ago, and the information may already be changed

many other pkm are now offering non-exe version of windows binary so that all you have to do is unzip into a folder, and run. not need to install. when will a zip or .paf version of siyuan be available on a regular basis? has anyone created a paf version or method they wish to share? ultimately, it would be good to have the data files, working files, cache files, and program files, all within folders inside a single main directory, so that an 'installation' could be put on a usb key and moved easily to another pc

      I think we can give some advice to the author, after all, more portable software, is more easily accepted by users.Not everyone is a programmer.

      You can just go to %localappdata% and zip the SiYuan folder in there. The app will be portable but your worspace is not in that folder, it's proibably under C:\Users\%username%\SiYuan, so remember to carry it around along the app and point to it every time you open the portable SiYuan in a new machine.
