Sessions
========
You can run multiple instances of the application given that they have
different session names.
Running Multiple Instances
--------------------------
Each application instance should have unique name.
To start new instance with ``test1`` name, run:
::
copyq --session=test1
This instance uses configuration, tabs and items unique to given session
name.
You can still start default session (with empty session name) with just:
::
copyq
In the same manner you can manipulate the session. E.g. to add an item
to first tab in ``test1`` session, run:
::
copyq --session=test1 add "Some text"
Default session has empty name but it can be overridden by setting
``COPYQ_SESSION_NAME`` environment variable.
You need to use same session name for clients launched outside the application.
::
$ copyq -s test2 tab
ERROR: Cannot connect to server! Start CopyQ server first.
$ copyq -s test1 tab
&clipboard
Configuration Path
------------------
Current configuration path can be overriden with ``COPYQ_SETTINGS_PATH``
environment variable.
::
$ copyq info config
/home/user/.config/copyq/copyq.conf
$ COPYQ_SETTINGS_PATH=$HOME/copyq-settings copyq info config
/home/user/copyq-settings/copyq/copyq.conf
You need to use same configuration path (and session name) for clients lauched
outside the application.
::
$ copyq tab
ERROR: Cannot connect to server! Start CopyQ server first.
$ COPYQ_SETTINGS_PATH=$HOME/copyq-settings copyq tab
&clipboard
Icon Color
----------
Icon for each session is bit different. The color is generated from session
name and can be changed using ``COPYQ_SESSION_COLOR`` environment variable.
::
COPYQ_SESSION_COLOR="yellow" copyq
COPYQ_SESSION_COLOR="#f90" copyq
.. note::
On Linux, changing icon color won't work if current icon theme contains
icon named "copyq-normal" or doesn't contain "copyq-mask" (and
"copyq-busy-mask").
