Follow-up Comment #5, bug #51684 (project octave):
Right you are.
A long time ago in a slightly different context I was once thinking that the
place where Octave stores its setting should be user-configurable with just
one global setting.
AFAICS for OF packages all of that is available now but not (yet?) in one
place; installed global packages are relocatable and we have "pkg prefix" for
(local) OF packages.
For history there's something similar.
I suppose such settings can all be put in a .octaverc file in a thumb drive.
Not guaranteed fool-proof, but you can get a long way.
But Qt-settings etc. are more involved (hard-coded AFAIK).
What is needed is a list of what (other) settings locations need to change.
Maybe adapt the bug title report so that this is more clear?
