Pulgin dependencies for usb ( portable )

Yes the executables need to be in the path. So the real question is:
how to include a folder on the USB stick in the path? What you could
do is create a .bat file that adds a folder to the PATH variable and
then starts zim. That

"What you could do is create a .bat file that adds a folder to the PATH variable and then starts zim. "

Wouldn't this be a problem with some machines requiring admin privileges to modify system path. (My priveleges are restricted). I'm still not sure what I should do here, and what commands to put in the bat file. Is there a way to do this locally on the usb.

Wikidpad has the option for the user to give the location of plugin dependencies (Graphviz).
Is there a way to make zim to search for plugin dependencies in a specified folder. Maybe modify an ini or py file?
Or should I post this under feature request?

No you don't need admin to do this in a BAT file. Please search the
internet for some examples how to write a simple BAT file.

Yes that would be a feature request, please put it in the bug tracker.
