Separate walking/Biking files
« on: October 23, 2004, 04:26:21 PM »
I thought i could install another copy of Topofusion on my PC so that I could just launch the "Walking" or the "biking" version depending on which one I was adding files to and I would not mix the two exercises together.  Two copies are evidently not allowed because the only options during install are "repair" and delete".  What is the best way to keep the exercises separate without having to select the walking or biking subfolder and then having to add all the exercises in that subfolder to the current file listing?

The TopoFusion.ini file stores the filenames of every loaded file.  So the easiest way would be to have two copies of it that you copy back and forth (perhaps a .bat file).

What would be nice is the concept of a "portfolio" file that could be opened to load different groups of files.

But yes, you can't have two versions of TopoFusion installed since you can only register one copy of GPSMaster.ocx.  It is possible to run different versions by running:

regsvr32 "c:\program files\topofusion2\GPSMaster.ocx"

for the version/directory you want to run.  But this is a bit of a pain, too.

Hi,

Addendum to my last post.  You don't need to re-register the .OCX files.  You can just have two copies of the EXE that run on different .INI files.

So:

c:\topofusion1\topofusion.exe
c:\topofusion2\topofusion.exe

Each directory will have an .INI file, and both .EXEs will run off the same GPSMaster.ocx (everything must be the same version of TopoFusion here).  

So you could just make shortcuts to different topofusion.exe files -- and they only have to be in separate directories.

Hope this helps.
