How to Succesfully Run Multiple Instances of Orca...

[mariano81]

You guys have created two fine products. I've been using Avant Browser for years, after 5 minutes of trying Orca, I became instantly hooked. Much faster in rendering heavy Ajax applications.

I work with 4 monitors in my Vista computer, and I would love to run multiple instances of Orca. Right now, I jump from I use Orca as my main, than Avant, than Firefox, and then Flock. It would be so much better if I used Orca for all of them. Is this possible? If so how?

Thanks a Million to any one that can answer this!

With my next words, I am speaking to the loyal following folks of Avant Browser and Orca community of POWER users (perhaps those of us who depend so much on multiple browser windows because of the amount of work and research that we do)....

It would be pretty cool, if we can have multiple instances of Orca running in our computers, right?

Currently this option isn't available in Orca but you can open multiple Avant's. Go to the File menu and select New Avant Browser... or right-click a link and select Open in New Avant Browser

And if you want a new instance to open when you click the icon... Right click AB's icon, click properties and add -runextra to the end of the Target line. Like so,

"C:\Program Files\Avant Browser\avant.exe" -runextra

Hi,

Are there plans to implement this feature, like in Avant? It is surprisingly useful to have to independent tabbed browsers running simultaneously.

Thanks,

I currently using Orca 1.1 RC4...

I do not see a features that allows me to open multiple new orca browser as in another window of Orca browser.

I hope this can be build into the next release because it is a very useful features.

It is possible using the "OrcaXtra" - not released yet, for more information check this topic:

So this is a old thread...

I read it long ago, and find myself once again wondering if Ocra will ever be able to run multiable instances...

Has this feature been implemented yet?

The development team has been very busy with Avant lately and Orca has not been updated for about 6 months now. There is a workaround using OrcaXtra, but nothing official yet unfortunately.
