I downloaded and extracted the portable zip 64bit version of Handbrake in Win7.
After start I changed e.g. the path to VLC videoplayer in Preferences and expected to find the file where it is stored somewhere in extraction folder.
But all the *.config files in HB folder do NOT contain this information.
Where is it stored?
In Registry?
I want to keep Handbrake really portable and want to store all settings in HB folder (e.g. D:\tools\video\Handbrake\).
How can I achieve this?
Is there a way to call Handbrake with user config as cmdline parameter similar to
D:\tools\video\Handbrake\Handbrake.exe -config=D:\tools\video\Handbrake\myprefs.config
or even better with relative path:
D:\tools\video\Handbrake\Handbrake.exe -config=.\myprefs.config
?
If NOT: Can this be added to next release?
Thank you
Peter

Re: Where are settings stored? Move settings file to install dir?
I have a similar question. I have recently upgraded my PC, leading to a clean install of windows 10. I have not been able to locate where the custom preset information is stored. I have the same version (1.0.7) running now as i did on my previous PC. My goal is to duplicate the presets i had on my old computer on this one. Can anyone help with where these files/reg keys are located? I am fully capable of making the edits, just need to know where the locations are!
Thanks for anyone who can help!

You need to enable portable mode with portable.ini Instructions inside the included template.

s55,
Thanks for the response. I no longer have the original drive as bootable, as that hardware set is dissassembed & replaced during my upgrade. i need to pull the settings from that drive, whether they are in registry or other file location, they have to be stored somewhere. Do you know where or not?

%appdata%\handBrake will take you to the folder.

s55, I thought i had copy/pasted all the files from that dir already, but that did the trick! thanks for your help!
