Notesbrowser 2 was internally much reworked to be able to save database and configuration files wherever you like.
You can use it on a flash drive with the portable mode (for flash drives) or the default stationary mode on a computer or laptop.
Notesbrowser 2 removes the restriction of the previous versions that the database has always to be located where the executable is and this removes a lot of problems.
If you update from a previous Notesbrowser version to Notesbrowser 2 you can just install in the directory where the previous version is or start with the new Windows default directories.
Install in the same directory as the previous version
If you install Notesbrowser 2 in the same directory like the previous version, the new version will detect the old database and use it. Internally the Portable Mode will be selected. This mode looks for the Notesbrowser database at the location where the exe file is.
In Notwsbrowser 1 the database was always in the same directory as the exe file. This will work as long as you didn't had problems in Notesbrowser 1 with missing rights etc.
If you use Notesbrowser on a flash drive etc. this is also the right way to update.
Attention: nb.exe was renamed to Notesbrowser.exein the new version. You may want to remove nb.exe.
Future-proof with new directories:
If you use Notesbrowser on a stationary computer or laptop and not a portabel device like a flash drive, you may want to take advantage frome the new stationary mode where the database and settings are located in Windows default directiories. Your database will be located in your "Documents" directory for example.
This may prevent problems in the future, e.g. should it in not be permitted to save data in the Program Files directory.
