neso for portable app...

[David]

dear and appreciated developers of tryton,

I allow myself to post a suggestion I just uttered in the tryton-group
although I cannot further contribute to it's execution (lack of python-
skills).

I was thinking to use Neso on a usb stick and tried with the Windows
version. Seemingly I could start it
on another system (where I hadn't installed neso) from the portable
and it appeared to be running, but could only open the database(s) I
created on that same system. I sought and found the location of the
sqlite database but didn't discover yet where this path is specified.

I would like to tell Neso to open the databases from another directory
(in Windows I cannot trick with hardlinks). Using Neso un a USB stick
would allow to work with one set of data at many working places
without exposing data to the internet, to encrypt them within a
filecontainer when not used and make Tryton probably the first
complete ERP solutions running from a portable device!

Is somebody willing to write such a patch so that a user without
python / compilation knowledge could use it in such a way?

Thank you for considering,

Sincerly,

David

the path on sqlite works its on your home directory

C:\Documents and Settings\abvargasr\.neso\1.6\

abvargasr its my username on windows logon and C:\Documents and
Settings\abvargasr\ as my home :>

the patch i think the best its check if exist a config file (
.portable ) on neso.exe live and self check this file for getting if
the data_path work on home or on neso.exe live.
