SS is already a perfect piece of software to me, but I got an idea to improve it (according to my needs)
What about an option to story SS's settings in an ini-file in the program directory? I'm using SS often from my USB-Stick (while doing support on other machines), and it would be nice from SS to leave these registries untouched.

portable SS
USB-stick carrying
I suppose the only way to carry SS is in shareware version.
Am I wrong ?

So I guess it should be fine.After you have purchased the Commercial Use License (the "license") for Software, and have received the file enabling the registered copy, registered copy of Software may [...] be used by a single person who uses the Software personally on one or more computers
I find the idea interesting but things would obviously not work everywhere (such as hotpaths and so).

Re: portable SS
We will support this option. Latest implementation of Windows Registry (Windows XP, SP2) is terrible slow (approximately 10 times slower than W9x and 5 times slower than W2K). The portability will be a big benefit too.Snowdear wrote:What about an option to story SS's settings in an ini-file in the program directory?

Re: USB-stick carrying
Technically, it works fine, simply use the SS-Programfolder and take it with you... I don't know what the license says but it should be okay...jorgerhv wrote:I suppose the only way to carry SS is in shareware version. Am I wrong ?
