The safest way to do that would I think be to run a couple of virtual machines with dt installed in each.
If you don't actually mean to run multiple dt instances concurrently but rather just want to have two versions installed I have done this in the past by creating a second user on my machine and running the unstable version as the second user. It is *probably* possible to do it under a single user account by careful start-up parameter choice but I'd rather not assume I'd thought of all the possible gotchas. Caveat - having eventually lost my fear or running from GIT I haven't actually gone the VM route but just run a simple single version now. There are just too many good features there to make running the distro versions acceptable now :-) Rgds, Rob. -----Original Message----- From: Robert William Hutton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 October 2013 15:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Darktable-users] New features On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 10:28:46AM +0200, Gert van der Plas - Schrama wrote: > Is there a way to enlarge a selected module on the display.

You do this through the preferences, gui options tab, set "width of the side panels in pixels" to your liking and restart darktable to apply the change. > And a way to run stable and beta darktable concurrently. I don't think you can have multiple instances of darktable running at the same time, though if you use the --library flag to specify separate databases for each instance then it might work.
