Is it possible to have multiple versions of Sigil installed (Windows)? - Page 2

Alternatively, you can do the following in Terminal.app to run the second instance:

In Terminal.app cd to where the you have the new Sigil installed and launch it as follows:

cd /Users/kbhend/myapps/
export SIGIL_PREFS_DIR=/Users/kbhend/myprefs/
open ./Sigil.app

That should do it.

Excellent! Thank you, KevinH! This is simple enough that even I can do it

(I had thought about the fast-user-switching thing, but I like this opportunity to learn more Terminal stuff

)
