Talk:Running Multiple Viewers

Post v1.20 - does the multiple option require two dashes, or does just one work as well? TaraLi Jie 03:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

• A single dash still works for me on Windows and Mac but have heard problems from some people who claimed two did the trick — I need more information to confirm this. - Torley on 2009-09-29 @ 4:29 PM PST

Distinguishing Multiple SL Instances when Task-Switching

Thanks to the Running Multiple Viewers page, I'm running up to four actor alts at once on a MacBook Pro, but switching between them is a bit hit-&-miss, because both the Dock and cmd+tab switching show four identical items: white-on-grey SL logo icons each called "Second Life":

What would be really useful would be, for instance, something like this:

I imagine these SL instances would be launched by double-clicking a similar item in the Finder, eg: called "SL - Samara Karfield" with a portrait icon, which would remember only that particular instance's login details.

Might there be a quick-n-dirty workaround to achieve some of this, ahead of it being made so by Linden coding experts?

Not working for me,

Single or Double Dash, when I add "-multiple" or "--multiple" to the end, after applying and exiting, I click on the shortcut and get a popup that Second Life is already running to check Task Manager. Am I required to restart my computer afterward?
