Can Environments start up images with names other than abt.icx?

Hi Bob,

that would indeed solve one of my issues. Thanks!
But still,... having different names in the taskmanager is often helpful, too.

Sebastian,

If your use of the image name is a development time 'feature' only, you might consider using the (new in 8.6.0) Image short name feature instead of the image name itself.  Environments allows you set this value in the Edit Environment secondary form (Press the >  button to see the additional things you can modify).  You could then reference  "EtBaseTools imageShortName"  instead of the actual image name for your widgets that use the image name to let you know where you are.  Note that the Image short name value will also show up as a prefix for the title of  most of your development image browser windows.  It is a handy feature when you run more than one dev image at the same time.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

thanks for the advice.

I use the image name in some widgets to know in development where I am...
I guess the easiest option is to still use .bat scripts.

Hi Sebastian,

Environments does not support this in its current form, though I agree that it would be a useful feature. It is on our list of enhancements we are considering. At this time, you need to create multiple environment folders, one for each image variation. I suppose for now, you could also swizzle the desired .icx file to abt.icx before starting as a 'Full' image does require the .icx file to be named abt.icx.  A 'Basic' image has to be named ibmst.icx.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi! 

How can I rename my images and still use Environments? 

I work with several VAST Images in parallel. When I rename the abt.icx 
differently I can't open the image via Environments again. 

Thanks, 
Sebastian
