opening workspaces in new instance

Post by Evan Scott »

Is it possible to open multiple workspaces in separate (multiple) instances of Textpad? If so, how is it done?

Evan -

Yes, it is possible. In the first instance, ensure that multiple instances are allowed: Configure | Preferences. Select the General item and make sure the "Allow multiple instances to run" checkbox is checked. Open the first workspace. Now you will have to start the second instance manually from the Start Menu. Open the second workspace in the second instance.

Hope this helps.

Evan,

I have found that the only way to open each workspace in a new instance is to create a new Textpad shortcut for each workspace and specify the workspace filename on the command line.

Clicking on the shortcut opens that workspace a new instance. Clunky but quicker than starting another instance of TP, then opening the workspace.

Sean.
