[SOLVED] Beta Build Portable not portable

Post by malkierian »

So I installed the portable version of beta build (2146), but I tried to copy over my Portable folder and nothing transferred. My library locations, my preferences, my media tree nodes, my playlists, nothing. The only thing that did was Material Design Dark being my active skin.

Hi,
I Just tested it using this steps:
1. Installed MediaMonkey 5.0.2138 alpha to c:\MM5Portable
2. Start it -> Scanned Library -> Set preferences -> Look -> ...
3. Installed Codec Pack 3.0.0
4. Closed MM5
5. Installed MediaMonkey 5.0.2146 Beta as Portable on top of 2138 to c:\MM5Portable
6. Started MM5
7. all settings were preserved
Best regards,

Thank you for the tip about installing over the previous alpha. That did, in fact work. I just remember being told in the past, when installing portable versions, not to install it on top of previous alphas, so I got used to copying over the Portable folder instead.
