Hi all

My question is. How can I run two totally independend viewers that do not share any user or configuration data.

I want multiple independent setups, not multiple login such as you can have by adding -multiple to the startup command line.

One setup I want as a normal SL type configuration, all the sights and sounds of SL. The other a setup suitable for playing with performance vehicles and weapons, low graphics, no logging, lower rez...all that low lag stuff.

Thank You

I assume this is for the same character, run at different times (not two completely separate accounts, which might be simpler).

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, and client parameters have a habit of hanging around even if they don't do anything, but... what I'd try is to create different shortcuts for starting the viewer, specifying different files for the "--settings" parameter. The client parameters are listed at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Client_parameters, in case there are any others that look promising.

That did the trick

I had seen that but I did not realise that was the config file, and that the config was in a single file.

it was apain changing all the settings back and forth all the time

Thanks again
