portable app

I'm writing an app for personal use, using core data.

At the moment it's set up to save the data file in the library/ application support/myapp folder on the machine. I also want to store a growing number of images to use with the app, so they are set to store in this folder as well.

However, I'd like to be able to use this app on my laptop as well as the desktop. I don't really fancy managaing some kind of sync, and thought the best solution would be to store the app and all the data/ images on a thumb drive. There's only me using the app, and having to walk and get the drive from the office isn't a huge headache, and I can easily take it with me if I want to work elsewhere (not on my home network).

How would I set the data store to a mobile drive? can anyone point me at a tutorial? Is it as simple as naming the thumbdrive and referring to it by name in the code? The Code I've currently got is the auto/ default type set up, following the Hillegass book as well,

Thanks,
Amy
