Xanashi/Icaros

Any way to make Icaros "portable"?

By that I mean having the configuration being stored as a file near the executable instead of in the Windows Registry. This would allow very quick back-to-business after an OS reinstallation or when bringing it over to another machine.

Hi GlasslessPizza,

Since it was important that all shell extensions had permissions and easy access to the settings at all time, I ended up putting them in the Windows Registry for both the installed and portable builds.

The easiest way to transfer these settings to a new system would be with the following IcarosConfig commands (CLI):

Save settings

  1. IcarosConfig -deactivate
  2. IcarosConfig -settings=exp -path="C:\Some\Path\Name"

Load settings

  1. IcarosConfig -settings=imp -path="C:\Some\Path\Name\IcarosSettings.icss"
  2. IcarosConfig -activate

And that should basically setup Icaros exactly the same on both machines (or on a reinstalled system)
