Hello folks!
I recently downloaded Processing 4.4.1 for Windows and installing in a W10 environment.
The default on the website is an msi file:
processing-4.4.1-windows-x64.msi
I tried this but was not able to install to a custom folder on another drive.
Browse was greyed out:
I had to go to Looking for older versions? on main page to find other options and found a portable zip file here:
Releases · processing/processing4 · GitHub
I was then able to install manually to a custom folder.
Previous zip file installs had the version in the folder name.
-
processing-4.3.4-windows-x64.zip
processing-4.3.4 is the folder name -
processing-4.4.1-windows-x64-portable.zip
processing is the folder name
My personal preference would be:
- The version in the install folder name
- Option on main page to download a portable version
This could also be a note to direct to this option and location
I am sharing here first if the community cares to add to the discussion and their preferences.
