Desktop port tips¶

-

Scope¶

-

This page is dedicated to the Desktop version of zmNinja and tips & -tricks

-

Command Line parameters¶

-

The following command line parameters are supported:

-

--path=<dir>  - starts zmNinja and stores user profile information to that directory.
-                This allows you to switch between different user settings.
-
---fs          - starts zmNinja in full screen mode
-

-

-

Multiple instances¶

-

It is actually possible to launch multiple instances of the same desktop -app from command line. This allows you to watch different servers at the -same time as well as use multiple monitors. I strongly recommend you use -unique --path arguments with each instance because otherwise one -instance will conflict with another.

-

So lets say you want to run 2 copies of zmNinja at the same time:

-

mkdir -p /path/to/instance1
-mkdir -p /path/to/instance2
-

-

-

And then:

-

# for linux
-zmninjapro-1.3.22-x86_64.AppImage  --path=/path/to/instance1
-zmninjapro-1.3.22-x86_64.AppImage  --path=/path/to/instance2
-
-#for OSX. Note the -n is critical to launch a new instance
-open -n ./zmninjapro.app --args --path=/path/to/instance1 &
-open -n ./zmninjapro.app --args --path=/path/to/instance2 &
-

-

-

Hotkeys¶

-

The following hotkeys are supported while the app is running:

-

[Cmd/Ctrl] + L         -> Lock app (if pin code is being used)
-[Cmd/Ctrl] + Shift + F -> toggle between full screen and windowed mode
-[Cmd/Ctrl] + Shift + D -> opens the debug window.
-                        Super useful to see what is going on,
-                        especially when things don't work
-

Desktop data storage locations¶

-

User data is typically stored in the following locations: * -%APPDATA%/zmNinjaDesktop for Windows, * -$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zmNinjaDesktop or ~/.config/zmNinjaDesktop for -Linux, and * ~/Library/Application Support/zmNinjaDesktop for OSX

-

To completely remove the app, you may want to delete both the app -bundle/binary and these locations as applicable on your system
