I think the portable settings folders for Chromium/Chrome browsers or Electron apps be moved to the Appdata\Roaming
folder.

I agree with this, which is why I just use Scoop to install firefox and ungoogled-chromium, while Google Chrome uses the official installer. |

Apps that are not meant to be portable should not be forced to be portable. Notice how all Chromium/Chrome browsers or Electron apps (except VSCode & VSCodium) always create 2 instances. Even if you use a parameter like
--user-data-dir="$dir\User Data"
, it will still another config in theAppdata\Roaming
folder that is out of Scoop's control. Here is my suggestion, change all manifests that contain Chromium/Chrome browsers or Electron apps, and add a script that will copy the portable settings folders into theAppdata\Roaming
folder. This should resolve the bug of Chromium/Chrome browsers or Electron apps creating 2 instances.Do you think these changes should be made, or should we just let these bugs with those apps slide under the bus?
