Opening more than 1 instance of the virtual calculator - Bob Frazee - 01-24-2015 02:45 AM

I discovered that more than 1 instance of the virtual calculator can be opened on the PC, and they show up in the CK. Is this by design? I did not pursue this any further, because I didn't want to mess up what I had in the virtual calculator I opened first. Thanks

You meant it? Sometimes it is comfortably to have several independent apps. near at hand.

You can give a name to each calculator.
I use this feature 'several primes' e.g. testing several firmwares.

Hello,

yes, it's by design.
Each prime will also create a separate directory in your %APPDATA% folder.

Now, if you want to re-access the 3rd directory, you need to open 2 primes, and the 3rd one will open the 3rd directory... Not the best UI, but it will work.
