- | ===== ? ===== | + | ===== Open Several Databases at Once ===== |
+ | |||
+ | With PediTree, it is possible to have two (or more) copies running at the same time, each showing a different database. This wasn't anticipated initially, but several users have found it to work without issues. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Setting up ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are several ways to set up multiple copies of PediTree for this purpose. Some work well, others are a bit clumsy. Working in Windows 10, here is one setup that seems easy to use. | ||

+ | * Right-click on this Taskbar image, then click on **PediTree** to open another copy. Repeat if needed. | ||

+ | | **Pin this to the taskbar**\\ The PediTree icon is on the taskbar.\\ Right-click to get the image on the right (see the red pointer) and left-click on the pin. |{{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ** Click on PediTree to open another copy **\\ Right-click to get the image on the right (see the red pointer) and left-click on **PediTree**.\\ Note: this needs to be the original icon, not one with an open database.|{{ : | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Comments | ||
+ | * It's best to avoid making changes to Options > Settings in one of the PediTree copies with an open database, as this may affect the other copies. | ||
+ | * Please report any difficulties or misunderstandings when using this facility, so that this answer can be improved accordingly. | ||
