Unable to launch multiple instances in Mac OS 10.9

[Howard]

Hi:

I am unable to launch multiple instances of PixInsight in Mac OS 10.9, having recently upgraded from 10.7 and installed the latest release of PixInsight. Prior to the upgrades, I could use the command !!$PXI_BINDIR/PixInsight -n from the PixInsight Process Control window, but BINDIR now seems to point to the wrong directory, and !!$PXI /Applications/PixInsight/PixInsight -n does not work either: in both cases I get the error message "Unable to execute external process:".

Many thanks for any help with this.
Howard.

Hi Howard,

The OS X distribution of PixInsight has changed recently. Try with PXI_COREDIR:

!!$PXI_COREDIR/PixInsight -n

This works on all platforms.

Hi Juan:

That does it, thank you! Is there some documentation on such environment variables?

I hope I can trouble you with one more basic question - when I save a new image, PixInsight no longer uses the the image window name as a default for the filename, as was previously the case. I found that to be a very convenient default, is there a preference setting to recover that?

Many thanks,
Howard.
