  • Running Two Projects Simultaneously

Hey everyone.

Apologies if this has been covered or this is the wrong space.

I'd like to be able to run two spine files simultaneously so I can reference dopesheet info, etc. on one and make edits on the other. Is this possible on Windows currently? I've read that you can do this via terminal on Mac. I'm pretty new to the software (2 days). I'd appreciate any help the group could offer.

Cheers.

There is a setting on Windows and Linux (but not Mac) called "Reuse instance", however it was unintentionally removed for some time and has been added again in v3.6, which is currently in beta. Before opting in to beta versions, please read this:
Settings - Spine User Guide: Beta versions

Unfortunately if you are using 3.5 you can't see the setting. You can try this though: close Spine, then open your prefs.json file with a text editor:

Windows: <user home folder>\Spine\prefs.json
Mac: <user home folder>/Library/Application Support/Spine/prefs.json
Linux: <user home folder>/.spine/prefs.json

Inside the first curly brace, add reuseInstance:false,, eg:

{reuseInstance:false,version:5,spineVersion: [snipped]

Now every time you start Spine, it should open a new window instead of reusing the existing Spine window.

Bang on. Thanks for the insight Nate.
