Config file location

[kratochviljan]

I really like that the application can be run directly – a single .exe file, no installation required.
That makes it perfect for use as a portable app: I can simply copy all the files into one folder and synchronize it across all the PCs I use - no need to install anything anywhere. However, in its current state, where the application stores its settings in a .json file located next to the .exe, it’s unfortunately unusable for this purpose.

Would it be possible to store the settings outside of this directory, for example in the standard Windows path %LOCALAPPDATA%\DesktopFences?
That way, it would be possible to have different configurations on different PCs.

Or alternatively, add an option in the global configuration to specify the path where the configuration should be stored - pretty straightforward.

I'm sorry my ignorance, but I couldn't execute the project. I don't know how can I install / run it?

The program can be downlaoded from releases. Extract the zip contnets and run the exe.
Simple as this.

Maybe in a future release. Not a high priority though
