PureBasic Forums - English

Using /portable won't write to the Registry for using PureBasic on a USB stick,
but the compiler still creates 2 files in the "Temp" folder. So I'd request that
/portable be enhanced to create the temporary executable in the source
folder (regardless of the Compiler Option) and also "PB_EditorOutput.pb"
should go in the source folder too. Otherwise it's not really 100% portable
when both these files are being written to the host machine -- I don't want
my boss (or IT team) to see them.

I do not think it is a good idea to write tempfiles on the USB stick. It will cause
unneeded slowdowns to the compilation.

The IDE should properly clean up when closing. (now even so after a crash),
so there should be no files remaining.

Ah yes, I see now, it does indeed. I thought it was meant to delete the files
when the compiled app ended, but I see that the IDE has to exit. Thanks!
