OpenMPT portable audio tracker

[webfork]

Another tracker program for the site, this one GPL'd.

Softpedia has a whole separate download page for the portable version, while the main site seems to indicate the EXE file has a portable mode. Will look into this shortly.

How to make portable:

Simply create a file called mptrack.ini in the same directory as the main executable (mptrack.exe) and insert the following lines in this file:

Code: Select all

[Paths]
UseAppDataDirectory=0

It won't do much good without a pointer: https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=3013...


BTW, here's something really unusual (I think) for a FLOSS project that I just noticed in the sidebar of OpenMPT's homepage:

Are these figures for real? If so, OpenMPT is bound to become the Methuselah of Open Source.

Thanks, forgot about the link, as for donations it's perhaps some rich musician donated to the tool he really needs.
Methuselah of Open Source would be Blender

I came back to this and looks to be natively portable without any additional tweaks. I've updated the entry (https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=3013) and voted. Thanks to toitoy for adding it to the database.
