Config file for Windows version

[gebbletook (greg)]

Why are the config files not in the same folder as the executable? What is the purpose of having it set in the user folder? This makes it inconvenient when trying to make it portable.

Maybe I am missing something. Is it possible to provide an option to make Syncthing “portable”?

I don’t think this is best practice for anything, Windows or not?

Yep, give it -home <path to where you want your config>.

Thanks for the help.
