I’m wondering, if there’s a way to start a second instance of Joplin. I read about the --profile flag in the post Is there any way to use as a portable app? , but I have no idea to use that on macOS. e.g. ./Joplin --help or ./Joplin -h only brings the current running Joplin version to the front. S…

I still plan to implement this some day but don’t know when. Now that we know how to do it, maybe we could write a spec for it for a start, as that might help identify some small tasks that could be done first.

I just want to mention a current behavior that works in linux that might be something to consider when running 2 instances of the terminal application (i.e. cli). Running 2 instances of the cli with the default profile doesn't work because the instances are sharing a /tmp directory. Upon sync the c…

I don’t have Windows anymore to test it out (just became too much of a slog on my old laptop), but I wonder if Joplin Desktop could be run at the same time as a WSL2 terminal instance?

I would love to see this coming but I want to challenge two points of the actual description: while it would be a got first step I think switching between profiles is only a workaround or? I would love to see an integration of the profiles without switching. the mobile platform is actual optional …

[image] nr458h: I would love to see an integration of the profiles without switching. How do you think that multiple profiles without switching should work? How can there be 2 profiles in one Joplin instance. This does not make any sense. [image] nr458h: I would suggest to set the scope …

I hope this is the correct place for this comment: For Android devices, it would be possible to manually install a modified apk of Joplin where the package name is changed. That way one could install Joplin several times on one single device. Each app installation is independent and can sync to diff…

I tried to use a second instance with an associated profile, it works but could not be used at the same time as the first one. If I launch the second instance while the first is running, the second just wait until I quit the first. Could it possible to lift this restriction ? I am working on Mac …

As far as I know, it is not possible. The original issue is still open.

I'd love to use multiple profiles in Joplin simultaneously. I understand Joplin server is a way to have this, but I'm contemplating the effort needed to install Joplin server on my own lab server (it's sensitive data) + migrate from our current NextCloud solution. Overall we're talking days/weeks of…

I wonder if an alternative distribution of Joplin (as detailed here Unofficial alternative Joplin distributions ) such as the macOS homebrew version could run in parallel to the official one?
