Hi Stephen, Probably not. There is currently no soffice in my path (as determined by which), and I don't think I've ever put anything in /Applications into the path, because the mechanism for starting those does not rely on it.
What now strikes me as more likely is: - each process from each version of LibreOffice cooperates with other processes, so that only one LO process is running - (probably) the cooperation extends across versions - I don't recall whether I got a window, or only a change of current application - I may have had a change to an already-running process from the other version - (probably) closing that to retry enabled me to have the version I wanted There is a better bodge for unix-like (rather than Mac-like) resource discovery; applescript can do 'set <variable> to path to me', and Automator can run pieces of applescript. I don't know whether the startup for an Xcode application can be a piece of applescript or not. Regards, James.
