Title: Quick Question - How do I keep multiple Code::Blocks windows open at once?
Post by: Khillasaurus on April 10, 2011, 04:10:51 pm

Everytime I try to open multiple projects in Code:Blocks it opens both projects in the same Code:Blocks window.
To clarify:
let's say I have project A open in CodeBlocks and I want to open project B in another window of CodeBlocks so that I can compare the two both running at the same time (or even if they can't run at the same time that's ok but not great).
What happens instead is that both projects are automatically opened under the same CodeBlocks application (even if I try to open a new CodeBlocks application using the desktop shortcut to the CodeBlocks.exe file)
Any ideas on how to get around this? Sorry if this has been asked already, I've used CodeBlocks for a while but have never used the forums here until now!

settings -> environment --> uncheck "allow only one running instance" and uncheck "use an already running instance"
