Even when using the FreeFileSync command line parameter to specify a custom global config file of `D:\FFS_Settings\GlobalSettings.xml` and also using `D:\FFS_Settings` for all `*.ffs_gui` (and using `D:\FFS_Settings\Logs` for all log files), FreeFileSync still writes to the user's `Roaming\FreeFileSync` data folder in Windows 7 to create `LastRun.ffs_gui`.

Would it be possible to allow the user to specify the folder for this file, or simply have it use the same folder as specified for the global config file (`GlobalSettings.xml`)?

Maybe you're looking for the portable FreeFileSync version?

Thanks for your reply, and I apologize for my long delay in responding.

What do you think of having FreeFileSync write `LastRun.ffs_gui` to the same folder as `GlobalSettings.xml`?
