Draagbare modus

The portable copy of GDM runs from any folder, including a USB stick, without installing anything.

Hoe het werkt

MisterDownloadManager-<version>-portable.zip holds the same programs as the setup, plus a folder named data next to misterdownloadmanager.exe. When that folder is there and GDM can write to it, GDM is in portable mode:

• De downloadlijst, instellingen, hulpprogramma's voor video en galerijen (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, gallery-dl), torrentgegevens, uw themabestanden (data\themes) en de logboeken worden bewaard in data, niet in uw Windows-profiel.
• Wachtwoorden (Siteaanmeldingen, die van de proxy, debrid-accounts) blijven ook in data, in plaats van in Windows Credential Manager. Ze zijn versleuteld voor uw Windows-account: op een andere computer, of een ander account, typt u ze opnieuw in (en meldt u zich opnieuw aan bij een debrid-account).
• Er wordt niets naar het register geschreven.

Verwijder de map data (of maak deze alleen-lezen) en dezelfde kopie gedraagt zich als de gewone zip: de gegevens worden bewaard in %APPDATA%\misterdownloadmanager.

Instellen

1. Download MisterDownloadManager-<version>-portable.zip van Releases.
2. Unzip it where you want GDM to live, for example E:\GDM on a USB stick.
3. Start misterdownloadmanager.exe van daaruit.

On the first start GDM asks for the language; see Languages.

Wat is anders

• Downloads still go to the computer's Downloads folder unless you change it. To keep them with GDM, set each category's folder in Options → Save to. Carry GDM on a USB stick shows how.
• Launch GolinksPRO Download Manager on startup in Options → General is greyed: starting with Windows needs the registry.
• Browser integration needs the installer. The browser finds GDM's helper through the registry, so a portable copy can't take downloads from the browser. Use Add URL, the clipboard or the drop target instead (see Adding downloads).
• Tasks → Torrent settings → Open magnet links and .torrent files with GolinksPRO Download Manager does write to the registry, for your Windows account only. Leave it off to keep the portable copy registry-free.

Verplaatsen tussen computers

The list keeps each download's full folder path. If Windows gives the USB stick a different drive letter on another computer, check Options → Save to, and expect downloads saved under the old letter to be missing until the letter matches again. When GDM is about to save into a folder that doesn't exist, it asks whether to create it.

Quit GDM with Tasks → Exit before you unplug the stick, so it saves the list.
