The program is not Portable

[apometron]

I did the following:

1. change your file/directory layout to the one specified by Portableapps.com:

RSSOwlPortable is the main folder
RSSOwlPortable\App\RSSOwl contains anything from RSSOwl's zip files from http://www.rssowl.org/download
RSSOwlPortable\Data contains the .rssowl2 folder

(anything else can be omitted right now)

change the RSSOwl.ini to look like this (you can change the -Xms and -Xmx as you want to, but don't switch lines:
-data ....\Data\ -vmargs
-Xms15m
-Xmx192m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true
-Dportable
It is important that the line starting with '-data' is before the line '-vm', see http://www.rssowl.org/help#item_9 for details

1. Start RSSOwl. It should now work fine.
2. Move the RSSOwlPortable folder somewhere else (make sure the original path does not exist any more) and try again.

Problem:
-data ....\Data -vmargs is not respected.

The program continues looking for data in
C:\Users\apometron.rssowl2

The image show RSSOwl with data from the C: drive.

If the directory on drive C: is empty and \RSSOwlPortable\Data.rssowl2 is full the following occurs:

The directory always appears:
\RSSOwlPortable\Data.rssowl

As demonstrated above, the directive -data do not works.
