Portable Purebasic on a memory stick

Michael Vogel · Post by **Michael Vogel** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 9:32 am

I am using mutliple Purebasic versions on a memory stick which can be used to write program also on other PC's than mine. To handle this easily I did wrote a starter program which selects a Purebasic version just by holding the shift or ctrl key while executing the starter.

Some things have to be done that everything works fine:

Directory Structure:

Code: Select all

 E:\....\Pure		containing the Purebasic.exe and Purebasic.ini (see below) and all 'global' preference files
 E:\....\Pure.531	contains the installation of Purebasic 5.31 (32 bit) and 'local' preference files*
 E:\....\Pure.531-	contains the installation of Purebasic 5.31 (64 bit) and 'local' preference files*
 :
 E:\....\Pure.600-	contains the installation of Purebasic 6.00 (64 bit) and 'local' preference files*

*) I've renamed all Purebasic.exe to Purebasic.xex, so they can't be accidently started from the USB memory stick

Purebasic.ini:

Code: Select all

Config=		*
Default=	546
Shift=		546-
Alt=		573
Shift+Alt=	573-
Ctrl=		573-
Win=		573
Shift+Win=	573-

)* when the Purebasic.ini contains the line Config=*, the FIRST instance of purebasic will use 'global' preferences (Preferences, Tools and Templates) instead of the 'locals' (otherwise the different purebasic instances would overwrite the configuration settings)

Source of Purebasic.exe

BTW the tool iplements shortcuts for the find/replace dialog

Why not just each version in its own folder (like you've already done) but uses a batch file in each folder to launch with the "/portable" switch? Way less complicated and no risk of any version overwriting settings of any other version.

Yes could be done, of course...

I am using my starter from a menu (wonderbar) so I just select the version I need by holding shift (or ctrl or alt...). But I like to have one 'global' set of preferences because for usual a change will be seen in all versions then. So if change an editor preference in 5.31 and start 5.71 the next day, the settings will be updated. The other reason for this menu is that I do 99% by the keyboard not the mouse - so shortcuts for the find/replace dialog speed up programming

That would make a great alternative to profanity when you're exasperated - "What, it won't fit through the door? Well, portable purebasic on a memory stick!"
