ABOUT INKSCAPE PORTABLE
=======================
The Inkscape Portable launcher allows you to run Inkscape from a
removable drive whose letter changes as you move it to another
computer. The program can be entirely self-contained on the drive
and then used on any Windows computer.
LICENSE
=======
This code is released under the GPL.
The full code is included with this package as InkscapePortable.nsi.
INSTALLATION / DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
==================================
The program expects the following directory structure:
-\ <--- Directory with InkscapePortable.exe
+\App\
+\Inkscape\
+\Data\
+\settings\
INKSCAPEPORTABLE.INI CONFIGURATION
==================================
The Inkscape Portable launcher will look for an ini file called
InkscapePortable.ini in the directory which contains InkscapePortable.exe.
If you are happy with the default options, it is not necessary, though.
The INI file is formatted as follows:
[InkscapePortable]
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScreen=false
The AdditionalParameters entry allows you to pass additional command-line
parameter entries to inkscape.exe. Whatever you enter here will be
appended to the call to inkscape.exe.
The DisableSplashScreen entry allows you to run the Inkscape Portable
launcher without the splash screen showing up. The default is false.
