Two Sequences Open At The Same Time
« on: February 23, 2019, 01:51:06 PM »
Is it possible to have two sequences open at the same time?  What I want to be able to do is copy and paste from one to the other.  If I can, how do I go about that?

in windows all I do is open Xlights twice, side by side. At that time you can copy and past from one program to the other.

I just did it and it worked.  That was simple enough, thanks!  Also thanks for letting me know not to change anything in the setup or layout tabs with 2 open.  I would have probable tried to do something like that sooner or later and got myself in a mess.

How can the same thing be do on a MAC? Opening 2 xLights window to copy. When I go to click on xLights icon again after the first xLights is open it just pops up the same first existing xLights window that I already have open.

You have to do it from the command line.   "open -n /Applications/xLights.app" will open a new instance.
