I remember the "-multiple" thing you could use to run SL client more than once. How do I do it on a Mac?

Thanks

Look at ArchTx's post... I tried it just a couple days ago and it worked for me. :)

You can always duplicate the .app and do it that way..... or so says my Apple guy.

or you could do the windows thing on a Apple I hear.....

This is what ArchTX said in his post --

From: someone
1. Find the client in Finder (usually "Second Life.app";)
2. Right-click and select "Show Package Contents"
3. Open the Contents folder
4. Open the Resources folder
5. Open the "arguments.txt" file for editing
6. Add "-multiple" to the "arguments.txt" file and Save

but it doesn't say what to do after step 6.

Once I have one avatar logged on, I don't see any way to get another log on screen.

do I need to duplicate the application?

YES!! That worked, Step 7. is

7. Ctrl click on the Second Life Application, Select Duplicate to make a copy of it. Then Open it to create a new viewer window.


I have no idea how to follow these directions. Right click? There is no right-click on a Mac. There's just a click. I tried "get info" (command-I), but I don't see anything titled "show package contents," "contents," or "resources."

The one button mouse is a continuing embarassment, IMHO. CTRL click.

Almost off-the charts slutty. Shame on you and congratulations. -- Trout

Sorry about that Yekat, I forget about that... Macs can do right-click, but only if you have a mouse that has the different buttons (Logitech in my case). I think maybe the new Mighty Mouse can do it too.

But Hate is right, even without the second mouse button, you can use Ctrl-click to bring up the pop-up menu. :)
