For Windows computers GIMP is available as a Portable APP but only for a stable version. Insofar as this is my preferred method of installation/usage I'd like to make my own portable installation on an external disk drive for a newer/development version.
I've been able to run the installer and choose a target location on the external drive. This has the affect of locating the program files where I want them. Unfortunately, when GIMP executes it creates a bunch of folders for persistent data on the path "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.9" which is most undesirable.
Insofar as the Portable Apps folks are able to change this I thought I should also be able to do that as well. The question is how?
