Changing Instance name

Post by sk2107 »

Hello,

I created 2 instances fir a certain purpose, and after completing everything I decided to give other names to each instance.

For example I created an instance called "tmp" and now I want to use the same instance with the name "MyLocalFiles"

Regards

Not quite sure what you're asking, but...

If -instance tmp, your related file names would be like:
everything-tmp.ini, everything-tmp.db, everything-tmp.csv ...

If you now want "tmp" to be called, "MyLocalFiles",
Quit Everything
rename -tmp to -MyLocalFiles for the above associated files

Start Everything using
-instance MyLocalFiles
.

Oh, essentially this (which you also asked), Duplicate all settings to a new instance.
