I am sure I am not using the portable version of Coollector.
The last installer I used in the work PC was: "Coollector_4_19_9_Setup.exe", and the app was updating itself in each update you released.
I have never downloaded the portable version nor use it.
About how I am using Coollector and my databases:
- I have 4 databases located in my NAS
- I have associated ".cool" extension to Collector in Windows
- I double click on a Windows shortcut (pointing one of the database files) or directly on the database file via the Windows Explorer to open Coollector with the selected database I want to load
- When I open Coollector directly calling the "Coollector.exe", it opens the default database in "My Documents\Coollector\MyCoollection.cool", which is an empty database I never use
To clarify: the second screenshot I uploaded shows the Coollector test version you gave me loading the default empty database (sorry I wrote it didn't load any database: I meant it didn't load any of my personal databases
)
