I have two monitors. They are different sizes. It is quite the pain to start everything up because the settings don't hold over from session to session. Whichever session I closed last is how it all starts up again.
Otherwise, I have no issues with this proposal at all.
While it's not quite what you're asking for, the junction method works pretty well for this, without using additional space.

I has confuse... Multiple instances running from a single installation are sharing Client Cache and Client Settings which is not always desired or may lead to confusing results. Masterplan should be one launcher handling a installation for Tranquility with profiles for client startup with different settings. I would like to see the ability to create a new profile based on an existing one. Singularity and other Test-Environments should be handled by this single launcher also. Deltas should be placed in a subfolder of main installation. One launcher to rule them all, so to speak.
While it's not perfect, if you junction your install, you can have multiple 'installs' taking up no additional space and requiring updated only once. And it maintains settings based on where you started it from, so each junction is a new install.
(look at the wiki page on multiple clients for instructions)
I use this to maintain 4 sets of settings. fixed windowed on each of the three screens, and one across all of them.

I has confuse... For example, I run 3 clients and for 2 of them I use my second monitor with different screen size/resolution, and lowered graphics. So, sometimes you just have to copy eve client to use different settings. Btw, in my case (on linux), I don't copy the client and don't update them separately. Instead, I linked 2nd folder to the first and thus updating 'main' client also updates the 2nd. For windows there also must be some way to link folders. I just don't remember.
Pretty much the same way. It's called Junctioning, with windows. uses mklink

You can do this in the current EVE Launcher, on Windows, by using the import/export functionality in the settings menu. We actually want to move away from multiple installs so that this won't be something that you need to do. Make it so I can set the client to a different monitor with a command line switch so I don't have to have a separate client so the settings are saved differently and I wouldn't be using multiple installations anymore. You could do this before but I couldn't remember how to do it after I came back to the game.
Easiest option is to junction the client to a new location. No extra space, but you're starting it from a new location, which means a new set of settings. http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Multiple_clients Steve Ronuken for CSM 8 Handy tools and SDE conversions Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |
