Make it portable

it would be nice, if Freelauncher would be portable. So all the files and folders would be in the folder, where the freelauncher.exe is. So the downlaoded minecraft-files, too.

So without setting a hard path. It must be an option for an relative path.

this setting is using the drive where Freelauncher.exe is. But not the whole folder. So if you have the freelauncher.exe in E:\Games\Freelauncher

the minecraft-files are not loaded into E:\Games\Freelauncher. They are loaded into: E:\ :(

Making launcher portable is supported by providing additional launch argument -d or --working-directory with an executable, e.g. .\FreeLauncher.exe -d "E:\Games\FreeLauncher".

Feel free to reopen.

Thx. But so you have always to edit the working-directory-path to the launch argument. So you can´t just copy it from one path to another without editing the launch argument after that.

Simply put BATCH or PowerShell script with an executable and run launcher through it.

@ECHO OFF
START "" FreeLauncher.exe '-d \"%CD%\"'

or

& ".\FreeLauncher.exe" @("-d", "$((Get-Item -Path '.\' -Verbose).FullName)")
