Multiple users

BitPim stores its settings for the current user. If you have multiple users, and login to your operating system as seperate users, then it will work fine. (On Windows XP, use the windows key together with L to switch users). This is the recommended way of doing things.

If you only login to your computer as one user, but would like to have seperate BitPim data settings for multiple users, then you will need to alter the settings before each launch of BitPim. Future releases will make this a lot easier.

Linux and Mac users can alter the contents of the .bitpim file in their home directory before launch.

Windows users should do the following steps:

• Create a registry file for each user. Here is an example for johnsmith and I would name it johnsmith.reg. The backslashes need to be doubled up as shown:

  REGEDIT4
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BitPim]
  "path"="C:\\My Documents\\johnsmith\\bitpim"
  "lgvx4400port"="auto"
  

• Create a batch file to launch BitPim. I would name this johnsmithbitpim.bat:

  regedit /s johnsmith.reg
  "c:Program FilesBitPimbitpim.exe"
  

• Finally create a shortcut pointing to the batch file. Use that shortcut to launch BitPim.
