Description

Hi! Thanks for making WebCord 😄

Right now on Windows with the WebCord-win32-x64-.zip build variants, WebCord stores user data in %AppData%/Roaming

I like my applications fully portable where all data related to them are stored in the same folder as the program executable, this feature request is a request for exactly like, an option to allow WebCord users to have the data produced by it to be stored in the same folder as the WebCord executable instead of in %AppData%/Roaming/WebCord.

Suggestions

An option to allow WebCord users to have the data produced by it to be stored in the same folder as the WebCord executable instead of in %AppData%/Roaming/WebCord.

For example if the WebCord exe is stored in C:\WebCord, the fully portable option would move and keep all the data folders created in %AppData%/Roaming/WebCord to C:\WebCord.

Another way of achieving this could be to introduce a --data or -d flag usable by creating a shortcut to the WebCord exe and specify the path you'd like the data to be stored in, for example: C:\WebCord\WebCord.exe -d C:\WebCord\data

Thanks! 😃

This can be done by creating a shortcut to the WebCord exe and appending: --user-data-dir=[PathToDataFolder] in the target box.
