Portability Notes

Poedit do not have portable mode. It stores its settings in Windows registry and data folder while running.
We redirect Windows' %USERPROFILE% folder to Data\Home folder, so only the registry setting is not portable.
Make sure it exits cleanly before plugging out your thumbdrive.
You can help by sending request to the official developer to add "portable mode" to their future release.
