Twice on two devices ok, but twice on the same device, nope, I didn’t succeed in doing this on Mac Os

It works fine for me in windows and 4ian uses a Mac too so he would have noticed if it wouldn’t work on Mac I think. Do you have any more details on errors/messages that appear when you try to open two Instances of GDevelop?

I’ve never tried this on Mac/Linux, but maybe copying and pasting the exe file in same folder would also help?

First, I have one instance of Gdevelop 5 installed in my Applications folder on Mac, I just don’t know how it’s possible to have two instances of the same software in this folder. Second, I just don’t how to open two projects from a single instance of Gdevelop at the same time… so i’ve got no error because opening the second project will close the first one :slight_smile:

i’ve duplicate the Gdevelop App and it seems to work.

If you open Terminal on MacOS and enter

open -n /Applications/GDevelop\ 5.app/

a second instance will open up.

Unfortunately it does not log in on the second Gdevelop instance.

I am on MACOS… any workaround …

I just wanna copy events from a project to another.

You will not be able to sign in on two instances of GDevelop at once as the second one will not load your profile, and there is no workaround.

Also, events are object or scene specific and should not be copied between projects under any circumstances, as it will generally break in the new project.

If you have something you want to make reusable, you should probably convert the events to a function in an extension and export the extension for local use.
