6. Portable Mode
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This application can be run in "portable" mode. Just rename the EXE file to 'x264_launcher_portable.exe' in order to trigger portable mode. In that mode all configuration files will be saved in the same folder where the EXE file resides. This may be helpful, if you want to run the application directly from your USB stick on different computers. Note, however, that in portable mode the install folder must be writeable!
Simple x264/x265 Launcher can be run in a "portable" mode. This may be helpful, for example, if you want to run the application directly from your USB stick on different machines. In order to trigger the *portable* mode, simply rename the EXE file to <tt>x264_launcher<span style="color:darkred">_portable</span>.exe</tt>. In that mode, *all* configuration files will be saved in the same folder where the EXE file resides – instead of the user's <tt>%APPDATA%</tt> folder. Note, however, that in portable mode, the "install" folder (i.e. the folder where the EXE file resides) must always be writeable!
***Note:*** Regardless of whether you enable the *portable* mode or not, the Simple x264/x265 Launcher application is **always** "portable" in the sense that it is fully self-contained and does *not* require any "external" libraries or frameworks to be installed on the computer. The only exceptions here are Avisynth and VapourSynth, which have to be installed *separately*, if that is desired. The *sole* purpose of the "portable" mode is to control where the configuration files will be stored. There is **no** such thing as a separate "portable" version (or edition) of Simple x264/x265 Launcher!
7. Updating Your Encoder Binaries
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This application works best with the encoder binaries that are included in the distribution package. That's because these binaries have been tested to work properly with the GUI. Nonetheless in some cases you may want to replace the included binaries with a newer encoder version or with an alternative build of the same version. Generally newer versions of x264/x265 should work properly, though there is NO guarantee! In rare cases the CLI syntax (or console output) may have changed in a way that breaks the compatibility and therefore will require an update of the GUI itself. Furthermore this application does NOT provide any support for "unofficial" patches. Usually custom builds that contain "unofficial" patches will work anyway, but again there is NO guarantee. Using old (outdated) binaries with this application is NOT supported or intended. Please report bugs rather than reverting to an old version!
