By default, Flashpaste stores its settings and databases in the
folder "%APPDATA%/Flashpaste/". Thus, the program has to be
installed in the system to be able to run properly. In some cases,
it is convenient to start Flashpaste without installation by just
copying the program folder, e.g. to a USB drive.
In this case, you should inform Flashpaste at startup where the
settings and the database are stored. To do it, you can use command
line parameters. Flashpaste supports the following list of
parameters:
- -a - Force Flashpaste to use the configuration
file (flashpaste.cfg) from the current folder.
- -b - Use the configuration file, Common and
Local Database from the current folder. (Files should have the
following names: flashpaste.cfg, common.txt and local.txt).
- -c=path_to_common_db - Use Common Database in
the specified path (setting in config.cfg will be ignored).
- -l=path_to_local_db - Use Local Database in
the specified path (setting in config.cfg will be ignored).
- -createreg - Create the fkey.bin file
containing registration information in the program folder.
- -usereg - Use the fkey.bin file containing
registration information.
For example, if you want Flashpaste to use the configuration
file located in the current folder and the database located in
c:\OurDB.txt, you should use the following command line to start
the program:
Flashpaste -a
-c=c:\OurDB.txt
To be able to start the program without installation (for
example, from a USB drive), it is recommended to do the
following:
- Copy the configuration file flashpaste.cfg (if it already
exists) to the folder with the executable file.
- Copy both common and local database to that location. The
database files must be named as common.txt and local.txt
respectively. If there are no databases, they will be created in
the current folder.
- Create file containing registration information by running
Flashpaste with the -createreg option and then
copy it to the folder containing the executable.
- Create the batch file flashpaste.bat (for example, using
Notepad) and paste the following string into it: start
Flashpaste.exe -b -usereg
- Use the created batch file to start the program.
