﻿Facet - Portable Edition
========================

This folder is a self-contained build of Facet. Copy the whole folder to a
USB stick (or any other location) and double-click Facet.exe to run it.

Nothing is installed. No registry keys are written. The .NET runtime is
bundled, so no separate .NET install is required.

Everything stays inside this folder:
  Facet.exe          - the application
  Facet.portable     - marker file that activates portable mode (do not delete)
  settings.json      - window placement, recent files, backup folder override
  Data\              - your Facet databases (default location)
  Data\Facetbackups\ - daily backups (per database file)

Requirements: Windows 10 or later. No admin rights needed.

First-run notes:
  - Windows SmartScreen may warn that the publisher is unknown. Click
    "More info" then "Run anyway" - the binary is unsigned because portable
    builds usually are.
  - Some antivirus products briefly scan a new .exe; this is normal.

To revert to a normal (per-user-AppData) install, delete the Facet.portable
marker. Facet will then store settings under %LocalAppData%\Facet and
databases under %AppData%\Facet, just like the installed version.
