Post by Lebostein »

Everytime I get a warning to open the history if I open a second IDE of another PB version. It seems there is a conflict and the second IDE thinks there has been a crash...

Are you using the '/PORTABLE' command line option with either or both IDE versions? If not, my guess is that both IDEs may be updating the preference or settings file and that is causing issues. If you use the '/PORTABLE' it will create a preferences file in the directory of the IDE executable and use that.

You also can use other command line options to define specific locations for certain files/paths:

It seem the problem is Mac OS only. Tested on Windows -> no problems
