I do that often under Linux and have always handled that by specifying a new config location as a parameter when I start up Lazarus. Why can't Windows or any other platform users do the same! The command line doesn't bite. ;-) You are experimenting with new software, so I would assume you know what you are doing! eg: I have setup two desktop icons with the following details. I can easily switch between Lazarus versions and they don't affect each others settings. --------[ stable Lazarus 0.9.26 ]------------------ [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Lazarus IDE 0.9.26 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=/opt/laz_git_copy/lazarus --pcp=/home/graemeg/.lazarus-0.9.26 Comment=Lazarus v0.9.26 release Icon=/opt/laz_git_copy/images/splash_logo.xpm GenericName[en_GB]=The stable Lazarus v0.9.26 release --------[ development Lazarus svn ]------------------ [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Lazarus IDE svn Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=/opt/lazarus_svn/lazarus --pcp=/home/graemeg/.lazarus-svn Comment=Lazarus unstable Icon=/opt/lazarus_svn/images/splash_logo.xpm As you can see, I specify the config path with the --pcp parameter. Which reminds me. Lazarus should really conform to the FreeDesktop.org requirements. By default any application's config or custom settings should live in $HOME/.config/<appname./ directory. Why does Lazarus IDE still use the old $HOME/.<appname>/ location?
