Yes, this is where the info is stored. i.e. If both regular and portable vesions are installed then MM detects the type from /Portable/MediaMonkey.ini [Portable] IsPotable=1 So if you delete Portable directory or the MediaMonkey.ini or edit the IsPotable=0 then you actually created regular MM version. I think that no change is required, resolving... |

by solving 0010759 it would create regression. Example: Where Regular 4.0, Portable 4.1 apron deletion of INI and start of 4.1 MM.DB would be updated, rendering 4.0 use prone to corruption. I would suggest to avoid this if MM.DB exist in portable folder by introducing One time Dialog (Without close button [x]) "Start this MediaMonkey as Portable [YES] [NO]" and if YES is selected than [Portable] IsPotable=1 is written to Newly created MediaMonkey.ini. Same Dialog would be shown if mediamonkey.ini and MM.DB exist in portable folder but [Portable] IsPotable=1 is not set along with same end result. See with Jiri what would be best to resolve this. |

I reduced the portable mode detection. Currently if the 'Portable' subfolder exists, then MM runs as portable. If the folder doesn't exist, it runs as normal version. Fixed in build 1633. |

Reverted, it casued a regression: 0010766 If MM is installed as portable and then subsequently as normal version to the same folder, the starter needs to know that MM is no longer portable, this is via [Portable] IsPortable=0 in Portable/MediaMonkey.ini |
