add environment variables to make the data portable.

"env_set": {
    "YARR_DB": "$dir\\data\\storage.db",
    "YARR_LOGFILE": "$dir\\data\\yarr.log"
},
"persist": "data"

Yes that is good - I did not see these variables documented anywhere, and had to search through the source code. I will add a command line shim also since these are options that can be set via command line.
Thanks.

A couple things.

Why persist a log file?

When yarr.exe is shimmed, it no longer prints anything to the output in the terminal. Any idea why or how to fix?

Why persist a log file?

As you said, when yarr.exe is shimmed, it no longer prints anything.
But it works fine when the scoop shim is configured as scoopcs.

I am not familiar with scoopcs. I can find no manifest in Main or Extras with the term.

I do see a reference in core.ps1 but that doesn't explain too much. There is apparently different shims that can be specified? How to use it? Thanks.

[qwertyhjklxyz]

This needs to be configured manually by the user.

scoop config shim scoopcs

the log file can be non-persistent.

"YARR_LOGFILE": "$dir\\yarr.log"

it's better to set the log file path, because opening yarr from a shortcut doesn't pop up the terminal to output logs.
