Well, what are you doing to run more than one instance?? :joystick:

If you want to run more than one client now, you have to specify different instance names for each client by using the i=instancename command line option. If you try and run client.exe a second time without specifying a different instance, it is assumed that you are trying to pass instructions to the already-running client and thus a second client will not be launched.
This was never a problem before. I would just click the client.exe a second time in order to run more widgets and then just select another configuration from the taskbar icon, but now it doesn't seem to allow me.
I am pretty sure Tadis uses command line options to open different "widgets" and start/stop scripts to expand & contract the "widgets"
I tried one of his Milk Suites a long time ago and I kinda remember this was the case...
As Nem said, you will need to create shortcuts with the i=instance name to do what you want, this has been the case for the last few versions of Samurize.....before that the "i=" wasn't needed.
Good Luck

That's right, it won't anymore. This was done for two reasons...
1) To make issuing the command line options much easier
2) Multiple instances with the same instance names don't really make sense - Samurize saves settings for each instance name in the registry, and if you run the same instance twice, the second time it is run it will overwrite the settings. This way forces you to have two clients running, and Samurize will remember the settings and config file for each one so you don't have to reselect the configs after restarting Samurize or rebooting etc.
As KMDonlon said, all you have to do is make a couple of shortcuts with i=instancename (or just stick to previous releases if the new release has nothing new you want to take advantage of 
)
I guess it makes sense... I thank you both for you help and detailed instructions
Not a problem, happy to help 
hmmm
i seem to have found a bug with the reload via command line option.
i make an instance, links with command lines. everything works fine untill i change to a config that has Weather2004 plugin and then all the "command line" links stop working.
this only happens when i change to the config that has weather 2004 plugin in it.
should i ask torsius about this?
but i don`t think it has to do anything with weather2004 >.<
PS Scrolling text can get jumpy and crazy (jumps a forw and backw) but this is very rare, it gets back to normal when u reload the config.
I don't know about the Weather2004 thing; the command line options should not be influenced at all by any plugins that are running. Note that the reload is not instant; it happens next time the client refreshes. Hopefully this will be able to be improved.
Multiple line scrolling text does not work correctly yet (ie. if you have a text meter displaying 2 or more lines of text that is scrolling).
@ ntchemist938, You are very welcome even though Nem did all the work! 
@ Unbeliever, the weather plugin from Torsius is giving me some troubles as well, I haven't had any trouble with command line issues but some other issues with the server output and the plugin running 2 instances with the same loc id....Torsius has said it runs on the old API, not sure if this causes the strange little problems but I guess we will find out when he releases his new rewrite from the core on up....patience I guess is what we will need.
Enjoy!

Ruby support will be in the next release Although support for it is limited, as the activescript implementation of Ruby is incomplete.
