To have two versions of LMMS in parallel

[D.Ipsum]

Hi, I use LMMS 1.1.3 under win7, I would like to install in parallel the last RC (to check the integrity of my projects).

Is it a good idea?
If yes, is there a recommended installation procedure ?

Otherwise, for those who went from 1.1.3 to RC3, did you notice any changes in your projects?

Thanks

I would like to install in parallel the last RC

You and me and ... well .. would like to
BUT
It 'cant' be done
Well 'can' but it is a d r a g
The colpit is the dot-file
IF (and i do not recommend it..) You try to have 2 installations, you will need TWO dot-files, AND
As in Highlander; "There can only be one"
So you need to replace the dot-file with the corresponding installation, before you try to open lmms.
One mistake, and the house caves in
I have done it, for version-testing and it 'worked', until i forgot 'where i was', and ran the wrong instance.
Ok its not the end of the world, nothing is lost, but reinstall and new dot-file is needed
Bottom line : Dont

Hmm, I will follow your advice and therefore abstain.

Thank you.


Has anyone noticed a possible alteration of his projects with the RC3?

I just switched from 1.1.3 to the RC3 a few days ago and haven't noticed any changes in my songs whatsoever. I'm on Win10, so we're both using the Windows releases.
