[Bug 781839] Re: make openlp portable

 

Hello All.

Stevan Pettit, if you're able to post a copy of your OpenLP PortableApps
package, I'd be happy to help in any way you need.

Also, I strongly reccommend moving OpenLP.ini from Data\Settings to
Data, as Data\Settings is generally only used for settings internal to
the PortableApps Launcher.

In response to Garen Evans II's question: Libre/Open office and VLC
should be able to be configured, so long as configuration is supported
in OpenLP.ini

Title:
  make openlp portable

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Openlp should be able to run as a 'portable app, off a USB flash drive
  without the need to install it.

  However, for know there are technical limits in pyinstaller which
  prevents this feature to work properly.

  App created by Pyinstaller fails to run from a directory containing
  non ASCII characters.

  For next major release (version 1.6) it is planned to fix this.

  Until this is bug of pyinstaller is fixed, I think it is not worth to
  implement this feature.
