Who updates the portable version of Mnemosyne?

Who updates the portable version of Mnemosyne, Peter or portableapps.com?
http://portableapps.com/apps/education/mnemosyne_portable

Any chance the betas could also be updated on portableapps.com?

Are there any advantages of not making Mnemosyne for Windows default to the portable mode?  Why bother having folders hidden away in directories etc?

I don't have anything to do with this :-)

There is a big chance the 1.x instructions simply work:

http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/help/running-from-usb-drive.php

(but replace C:/users/<user name>/.mnemosyne with C:/users/application
data/mnemosyne)

Let me know whether this works.

I'm following the system recommendations of Windows, Linux and Mac with
respect to the best locations to store user's data. I guess you should take
that point up with the guys who made those recommendations :-)

I can however see their point of separating the location where the program is
installed, and the location where the user data is stored, such that the
program only needs to be installed once if more than 1 user on the same
machine wants to use it.

The rationaly behind putting this in a hidden folder probably was to avoid
clutter.
