To launch a 2nd desktop application with different database

Hello
First of all, thank you for this proposal.
Nevertheless I don’t find a members area for downloads on the site for the current version 1.4.1 (pro) ? as well as for this version 1.5.2. How can I do it ?

Is it also possible to install this appimage version next to the current version (deb??) in another directory? I have already done this with Firefox :slight_smile:

It’s here, sorry.

Yes, you simply put the AppImage file where you want it and run it as an executable. You could also run the same AppImage twice with different command line arguments (as I have shown earlier) so that you don’t need to keep the deb updated.

hello

Thank you
For information, I was not able to run the installed version 1.4.1 (pro).deb with the version 1.5.2 appImage. I probably need to install version 1.5.2 (pro).deb!

So I installed a version 1.5.2 in the download directory and a 2nd instance 1.5.2 in another directory. This works well (especially the dark mode).

Just a little problem, I don’t see the database in the appimage launch directory!
I put this:

HOME=/media/Appli-donnees-actives/Everdo-portable /media/Appli-donnees-actives/Everdo-portable/Everdo-1.5.2.AppImage --multiInstance

Out of the idea was to have a version of everdo on my computer (deb or appimage) but the 2nd instance on a usb key (or external drive) which has to be portable from one computer to another. How do I do this?

Regards

The database should be at /media/Appli-donnees-actives/Everdo-portable/.config/db

Great :grinning: because in addition by using 2 appimage instances, I can save the database of the directory;
Last little problem. I got an error message because this is the free version!
Is there the pro version or are you going to release it very soon?

You should import your product key into the second app instance.

Hello
OK I’m at version 1.5.2 pro :slight_smile:
I had a problem importing the json file everdo.deb 1.4.1 pro to everso appimage 1.5.2 pro, I found myself with more elements !
before 1.4.1 ~20 elements , 4 late
after 1.5.2 ~80 items, 15 late

Well, if not, I still have to set up the synchronization on one of the instances.

HI,
1/ I’m trying to resynchronize the android application with the new appimage 1.5.2 pro instance. I have a big problem.

In the app
It seems to me that everything is good on the desktop application side. It is well registered and synchronized
At the bottom of the SYNC configuration tab, I have the message
“Encryption key mismatch Thu Jan 07 2021 11:51:18 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)”

Android application
I downloaded the apk 1.2 and installed under android
I have installed the purchase key
I tried to scan Encryption Key but each time I got an error message that I can’t copy.
I can enter the login and password multiple times in the android application → nothing is memorized!
I manually copied/pasted the key on Encryption Key of the application which is memorized

2/ update following a problem :
I restarted the file for the v1.5.2 (pro) appimage version since I couldn’t manage to shift to v1.5.3 (pro).

I managed to install a backup after my old data loss message but strangely enough, I’m in dark mode and I haven’t been able to make a json backup.
I don’t know if it’s related but I crashed my computer several times under ubuntu 20.04 today ! Everdo is in permanent use
@+
ps: I don’t know if it’s possible but it would be nice to sort by last addition/modification

Sorry I have trouble following what the problem is.

Could you please write what is working and what is not?

Hi
The application seems to work except for saving in json format.
The computer freezes (no more ubuntu login possible, save as json …) since I switched to everdo 1.5.2 !!
Regards

It should not usually be possible for any application to crash Ubuntu. You can always try reverting to an older version and see if that helps.

1/ I’m going to do several more tests without using everdo to see if the computer is still freezing?

Can you answer the other question. How do I upgrade from v1.5.2 to v1.53 since I replaced the path but it doesn’t launch v1.5.3? Please tell me what I should change in the path or take into account?

2/ Since I upgraded to v1.5.2, I crashed the computer 3 times when I wanted to make a json backup! Do you reproduce this problem ?

3/ and finally the scynhronization problem with the android application that I downloaded apk 1.2

Regards

Please explain specifically what you did and what happened.

No. If the operating system is crashing, it might be helpful to look at the system logs.

Did you try quick the quick pairing workflow? What specifically goes wrong?

I can now confirm that in the next desktop update there will be an option to specify the data directory as a command line argument. For example you will be able to launch two apps as simple as this

$ everdo --multiInstance 
$ everdo --multiInstance --dataDir /home/user/.config/everdo-2

Hi,
Which version do you mean: snap? deb?
Because at the moment it works well for me with 2 appimage :slight_smile: .

HOME="/media/.../Everdo-portable/" "/media/.../Everdo-portable"/Everdo-1.5.3.AppImage --multiInstance

if you could tell me how to put it in the ubuntu launcher? because I didn’t succeed!

Just I don’t see the icon in the ubuntu bar and impossible to move the icon (but can it be appimage ?).

It will now be supported by the application directly so it will work for all package types, not just AppImage.

Does it work when running the deb package?

HI
Yes the automatic launch worked with “.deb”.
For appImmage I pointed to the previous file:
“/media/…/Everdo-portable/everdo-launching”

HI,
Did you also take note of these questions?
Would this be possible now or later?

I think this problem is specific to AppImage on Ubuntu and it should go away when you move back to deb (after it supports multiple application instances).
