Question regarding several parallel CL installations

Fortunately before installing the latest 2419 build, I renamed my earlier installation, so that now that I have problems with 2419, I can very easily revert back to the earlier version, but it did raise a question in my mind:

Is there a better or preferred way to handle this sort of scenario?

What I have done, is to rename my main CL directory on c:\Program Files\ prior to installing the new version. Now it is simply a matter of exiting all work spaces and renaming the CL directories so only the one I want to use is called c:\.....\Codelite, the others have a suffix related to the build number

I still very much like CL and hope I can keep it that way :-)
Very impressive work, Eran

Since CodeLite is not using registry, you can simply install it in different paths thats all

That is more or less what I have done; the only drawback - and it is not a big one - is that if I want to launch CL by double-clicking on a workspace, it needs to be on the path specified during installation.

Forgot to ask you: what problems do you have with this build?
