Description

Thanks for making a portable version for Windows, I and other portable software users really appreciate it. Right now it's kind of semi portable, because settings, log files and youtube-dl are stored outside of program directory (appdata). Could you please make so that all the needed files are stored in one folder (program folder), thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the application to store all configuration, logs, and youtube dl binary in the program directory instead of AppData on Windows. This involves changing the path constants in the code to use the executable's directory.
