2022-01-13 07:06:00 - Batch file that can create multiple instances of qtVlm
I've created a batch file for windows that allows you to set up and run independently multiple instances of qtVlm of a single install. Download the attached file, read the instructions in the header and make the changes to the file as needed. Tested with Version : 5.10-9-p4 (meltemus) (Dec 30 2021)
Qt 5.15.6

After an intial mistake I made in changing the directory name in 'qtVlmLoc=...' all works.

Did not now your use of 'mklink /H' and 'mklink /J' in 'qtLinks_1.bat'
Clever.

I learned something new for me.
Thank you.

Just a quick word of caution. It is only tested with the latest version of qt. I would not try and use it with any other version. It may work with future releases, provided qtVlm do not add any new files to the release.

New version that supports V15.12.0.

IMPORTANT: This is a significantly different version from previous ones. You need to delete all the folders in the target folder (where you run qtLinks.bat from) before running the linking batch file.

I've also included the batch file I use to launch qt from my race folder, which you can edit to suit.

Note: I did have an issue with one of my instances which kept crashing. Copying the qtVlm.ini from a working instance and overwriting the fault one fixed it. Obviously, you will need to edit the Configurations as they will be the same as the source instance.

Great job on the batch file! I’ve played around with similar setups for running multiple instances of software, and it’s a lifesaver. Just a quick tip: when you’re editing the paths, make sure they match your directory structure. I once spent ages troubleshooting a simple path issue.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
