GnuCash Portable

is no longer portable as of 3.x
I think it would be useful if you detailed the problem a little so
others would not fall into the trap, or pointed us to a bug
description or something.
The problem is that there are
one way file changes between 2.x and 3.x
and
significant directory use changes between 2.x and 3.x
I know that, you know that but someone at PortableApps doesn't want to know.
===
Someone using the portable version is trying to go back to 2.x from 3.x,
that isn't going to work unless they have backups, the PA person doesn't
seem to know you can't go back.
Someone else has reported they lost all their reports, well, duh, what
was expected when the person making GnuCash 3.x portable didn't notice
that the directory use changed.
===
I do *not* believe the person in charge of PortableApps.com is a bad
person, quite the opposite, I believe he is a good person, I think
PortableApps.com is a valuable site that provides useful resources.
I'm not sure a bodged version of gnc 3.x that is guaranteed to lose a
directory is going to help anyone.
===
I have had a response from the site owner but he doesn't seem to be
understanding that the changes between 2.x and 3.x were significant and
required some action on his part.
I have BCC'd this, if a gnc mod sees this first, please respect the BCC,
thank you.
