Istaria Companion/Multiple instances howto

You are able to run multiple instances of Istaria Companion by copying it onto a different place on your hard drive. Simply follow the below steps.

Requirements

You need a second Istaria install folder. Parsing two characters from one Istaria installation is not possible.

Steps

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to Istaria Companion's install folder

   If you didn't choose a different one, it should be:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Istaria Companion

2. Copy the contents into a new folder, for example:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Istaria Companion 2

3. Browse into the new directory and delete the 'workspace' folder.
4. Right click the 'Istaria Companion' program file, choose the 'Send to -> Desktop' option to create a link on your Desktop.
5. Start your second Istaria Companion for the first time, using your new link on Desktop.
6. Select your second/third/etc. Istaria installation folder and confirm.
7. Open the main menu and choose 'Preferences'
8. Enter a program title suffix, so you can differ between the two Companions in the future. You may want to add a suffix on your first install, too.

That's it!
