Re: Second instance#help #windows11
开云体育Randy,Sometimes a "step by step" says it best. You can make fldigi run in multiple "instances" - at the same time. Only one copy of fldigi.exe needs to be on your computer. My situation: I use both a 7300 and a 705 on digital and I have multiple fldigi instances configured that I can use just for the rigs I want to use. WHy and How? >>> fldigi can create a new configuration directory if you add a bit to the target line. For each instance you can customize for the purpose you want without copying the fldigi .exe file or the main install directory. To Do This: 1. Copy your fldigi icon. 2. Paste two? or more copies onto the desktop. Rename each to something you will remember it by like: "flrig 2.0.05.93 IC-7300A" and "flrig 2.0.05.93 IC-705" for example 3. Open the first icon copy properties settings by right clicking the icon and selecting Properties. 4. You will see something that looks like this: 5. Add something like this to the end of the Target line:? --config-dir C:\Users\"your username"\flrig.ic7300A so the whole line reads: "C:\Program Files (x86)\flrig-2.0.05.93\flrig.exe" --config-dir C:\Users\"your username"\flrig.ic7300A ?- You should change the "your username" bit to your username (if you don't know it, you can find it on your log in panel or by going to the C:\Users directory and looking at the filename there. Use the model number of your rig like"ts590A" or "ft818A" so you know what rig you're configuring. I use the A, B, etc because I often run more than one instance per rig. ?- My full Target line looks like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\flrig-2.0.05.93\flrig.exe" --config-dir C:\Users\jspitzn\flrig.ic7300A NOTE: make sure you use -- (dash dash) before "config-dir" or just copy and past the line then edit it for your needs. 6. Click on Apply at the bottom of the panel. Then close the panel by clicking "OK". Repeat the steps above for the second copy of? the icon - in my case that would be for my ic705 so the Target line would look like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\flrig-2.0.05.93\flrig.exe" --config-dir C:\Users\jspitzn\flrig.ic705 When you double click on each of the new icon copies, a new config directory is created and you will be asked to configure fldigi like you would for a new install. !I don't advise you do this at first! >>>However: If you want to start with the same settings that you have for your original instance of fldigi, you will need to copy the entire original default config directory into the new config directory. This can create some other issues for first time multi-instance users that I don't want to discuss in this email. Good luck! Jack Spitznagel
