[APBeta] AP V2 in a Dual Boot Environment

[Gary A. Ferguson]

I think it would be better not to try to share ALL files, but I think you
could share the catalogs, observation db, and plan file location. The sticky
wickets are the preferences, resources, and the image database. To this
point, I have just used the technique of copying them. For me, the
preferences and resources change only rarely, so that's not a big deal. The
image database has a new import feature that could make it easier to manage,
but I haven't used it extensively. (i.e. I tried it when it first came out,
but not since then.)

 

The catalogs are the biggest space users, and that one is easy to share. The
images are the next biggest disk user, but I manage that by just not
downloading too many pictures (not the best solution for everyone.)

I would like to install AP V2 in both a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 dual
boot environment and be able to share all AP files and databases between the
two installs.  Has anyone discovered how to make this to work?

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to shed some light o this
request.

I can't answer this one. Do the two systems share the same file
system/partition, or are they in separate disk partitions?

If they share the same file system/partition then you _might_ be able to
share.
