On Arduino 1.6.x is there the option to create a portable IDE.
Simply you must create a directory named "portable" inside the arduino1.6.x and all files like preferences.txt, and 3rd core, and others will created inside this portable dir.

BUT visual micro do noto work whit it

Thanks we will sort that

You can set "tools>options>visual micro>locations>contributions path" to your portal folder then boards manager will use it correctly.

That will just leave reading the preferences.txt from the appdata

Is the arduino portable functionality implemented in the current visualmicro ?

On the arduino github the portable is inserted on a branch, so probably in the next release we have two download, the installable edition and the portabke edition for all three OS.

Can you post a link to the branch code so I can see what you mean?

Simply a folder named "portable" added by default to the .zip version.
This mean that all core downloaded by board manager, and the preferences.txt file, will remain inside Arduino directory, and not under local/roaming windows directory

Thus is possible from many time but you must manually create a "portable" folder.
If visualmicro do not support this by default all people that will use the new portable edition will have problem

Hi,

Your questions are a little confusing but the answer is yes to both questions Smiley

1)
Yes the .zip (portable version) and "windows installer version" are supported because they produce the same version of the Arduino Ide. However, with the .zip, if you do not have arduino usb drivers installed and your hardware needs them you have to install them manually.

2)
Yes, the "arduino-ide\portable" folder is supported. In this current version this is only the case for the Arduino 1.6.x application configuration in Visual Micro. I have just extended it to the arduino.org ide for the next release of Visual Micro.

...

What problem are you having? Which Arduino Ide and version are you using?

Thanks
