Has anyone else noticed that on version 1.20 you can no longer add -multiple to your target for multiple accounts? Is there another way to run multiple accounts on this version?
Thanks, JulieAnne

Thanks, JulieAnne I belive they changed it a little while back, from my understanding it is now --multiple

I had the same issue. Because of some other issues I was having, I had to uninstall SL...get rid of all the old SL files that were hiding and resinstall. Once that was done, it seemed to take -multiple just fine.

From: Drifter Dreamscape Strange - just -multiple still works for me and I'm running 1.20.15. Humm, I downloaded the latest version last night (not sure what the version number was) but when I added -multiple and clicked apply, it would not save the target. Only when I removed the -multiple did the target save. Not sure, I will have to check the version when I get home now too. Thanks Guys |

Use the double hyphen if it is all on one line, such as in a Windows shortcut Properties field.
"C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" --multiple
That is the "Target" field in the properties for my Win XP system, and it runs fine in multiple instances under 1.20.15.

Hmmm, I downloaded the latest release of the main viewer, and then added the single hyphen -multiple to the target in the window XP shortcut. Worked just fine. (Of course, I am clueless about these things, first I tried adding the -multiple inside the quotes. The target would not save this way.)
"C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -multiple

The quotes are only there because of the embedded space in the directory name "Program Files". They group the path info together as a unit. Any additional parameters go outside the quotes.
Leave it to Windows to have a standard and critical directory name with a space in it, and yet be unable to correctly parse the path with a space in it, unless you wrap the path in quotes...

Ah gotcha, Ceera. I don't have that problem as I installed SL to a nominated folder rather than let it install to the default, so there's ni path with a space in the name. Knew I'd done it for a reason - just didn't know why!  |

"C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -multiple
That's my target line, and it works just fine for me on XP. I'd never heard of using a double hyphen before, but I just tried it, and it works exactly the same as the single hyphen.

Kool, so it looks like it has to be outside of the quotes. On the last version I was running, it was inside the quotes and worked. Must be an XP issue and not a SL issue? Thanks all, you guys Rock!
