Full Version: Open multiple projects?

Is it possible to open multiple projects, simultaneously? I'm running v3 on a Mac. In the "windows" drop-down, there is the option to cycle through windows. But I can't seem to actually open more than one project at a time.
What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Hi sneather, use the main MoI menu at the top, the one labeled "MoI v3.1" - there's a "New Window" menu item there that will open up a new instance.

Oh man...I really should have asked this question a LONG time ago. What a helpful thing for workflow.

As always, thanks so much, Michael!

Hi Michael
Is that just an option for the MAC version. I'm not seeing it on my PC version
cheers,

Hi eric, that particular menu item is only for the Mac version, because unlike Windows the Mac OS doesn't normally launch multiple instances when you click the application icon. For Windows you can launch another window just by clicking whatever shortcut you used to launch MoI the first time, or if you have it pinned to the task bar right-click it and there's an option to launch a new instance on that menu. Basically in Windows that option is built into the operating system itself so that's why MoI doesn't have its own menu for it.

Thanks Michael,
Very useful information. I did not know about the right click to open another instance. I often work with two at a time but a more round about was used to get there.

For what it's worth, this is what I do:

Press one of the Windows keys on the keyboard.
Start typing MoI
A window opens with Best Match MoI 3.0 at the top of the window
Press enter.

I'm running Windows 10 but I think this feature was available on some previous Windows versions.

Hi Michael,

I sometimes make use of this possibility. Will this remain an option in the native mac version of MoI V4?

Thanks,

Hi Metin, yes the "New Window" menu item will be in MoI v4 Mac version as well. There is one difference though which is that an additional icon will appear in the dock for it.

That's good news, thanks Michael.
