rudi 27 Posted November 16, 2016 Hello, I found a thread already covering this, by editing the scite profile file. Here Jos mentioned, to use the USER file instead of the GLOBAL one. I sometimes would like to have a second main window of SciTE, when I want to use two monitors to copy/paste parts of one script to a new, second one. So maybe there is also a solution, to "split" two scripts in one SciTE instance that way, that the one script is full screen on monitor #1, the other one on monitor #2? Or just to override the "one-instance-check" of scite intentionally, for a single "second-instance-start" ? Any suggestions appreciated, regards, Rudi.

rudi 27 Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Hm. even adding (the previously not present) value to the file C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTEUser.properties to this is not doing the trick: <BOF> import au3.UserUdfs import au3.keywords.user.abbreviations check.if.already.open=1 <EOF> changing the existing value in SciTEGlobal.properties *IS* doing the trick to get more than one instance opened at the same time. Is there really no better way to get this done? Any suggestions appreciated, thx, Rudi.

Jos 1,858 Posted November 17, 2016 So you tried this in your SciTEUser.properties file? check.if.already.open=0 This is working fine for me. One other option you have is to run one instance of SciTE with "Run as Adminitrator" rights, this should also give you 2 SciTE instances. Think you need to start the Elevated version first.

timmy2 11 Posted March 2 In case you can't find SciTEUser.properties here's the path: "C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE\SciTEUser.properties" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jos 1,858 Posted March 2 Or simply from the SciTE options menu.
