Altap Salamander Support Forums

I would very much like to run Servant Salamander from USB drive. I can
install it and run it, but my settings do not persist when I change
computers. Is there anything that I can do?

PS If there isn't a good solution, I guess I'll have to write a batch
script that imports/exports SS's settings from the registry. In this
case, are all the settings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Altap, or
will I have to look in other places as well?

From Salamander 2.5 RC2 is "portable" mode a little bit more supported. Please look at http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=636

We plan to support "configuration in file" in addition to current "configuration in Registry". It is already on our roadmap: http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/newver.html#roadmap

Right now (version 2.5) you should really use some batch file or small stub application to transfer registry settings.

Hi, there was a post from a guest user a few days ago about special tool to make Salamander portable. I don't know anything about it and it is not supported by Altap. Use it on your own risk.

portable salamander 2.5 rc2 - it's in Slovak language, but it just says, that it makes Salamander to use file for Configuration.

Zadaj adresar kde je nainstalovany salamander tzn. ten kde je subor salamand.exe po prvom spusteni suboru "portable salamander.exe" sa exportuje nastavenie salamandra do suboru config_.reg a zaroven sa VYMAZE z registra. Instalator automaticky vytvori novu ikonu na ploche cez ktoru budete spustat Portable Salamander.

Could you translate .
Exports the registry to config_.reg ... Installer automatically ...

Hi, I use this little batch for using my own config_.reg (salamand.reg):

@echo off
if "%1" neq "" goto %1
start/min cmd /c "%~nx0 hide >nul"
goto:eof
:hide
title Portable Altap Salamander
reg export HKCU\Software\Altap %tmp%\..\SP
set el=%errorlevel%
if %el%==0 reg delete HKCU\Software\Altap /f
reg import salamand.reg
salamand.exe
reg delete HKCU\Software\Altap /f
if %el%==1 exit /b
reg import %tmp%\..\SP
call >%tmp%\..\SP
del %tmp%\..\SP
