How do I load a custom DB that I saved after I close the program?
I noticed that the program only loads the default DB but there are no options for any others.
Used the search function to help but couldn't find anything relevant

FILE > NEW DB INSTANCE
and enter the instance name
Or you can start it by passing the instance name to the .exe as an argument
right click the .exe file > CREATE SHORTCUT
it will put it on your desktop
right click the shortcut > properties
it will have a field
target: c:\program files (x86)\twitterdub\twitter.exe
change it to:
c:\program files (x86)\twitterdub\twitter.exe "instance_name"
then the instance will load when you double click the shortcut
and enter the instance name

Re: Loading Custom Database?
I tried this but every time an error surfaces saying "The name c:\program files (x86)\twitterdub\twitter.exe "instance_name" (replacing instance_name with the actual instance name) specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."martin@rootjazz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 8:11 pm FILE > NEW DB INSTANCE

Target text needs to be like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Twitterdub\Twitter.exe" 1Test
where 1Test is the name of the instance
You can actually make shortcut first(or copy some old one), name it whatever you want, change the target text(add desired instance name), run it and TD will make an instance for you.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Twitterdub\Twitter.exe" 1Test

That seemed to work. I'll update if it doesn't. Thanks!Robertos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:29 am Target text needs to be like this:

Note, 1Test MUST NOT CONTAIN A SPACE.Robertos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:29 am Target text needs to be like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Twitterdub\Twitter.exe" 1Test
that is good, the first parameter passed in is 1Test
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Twitterdub\Twitter.exe" 1 Test
This is bad as you are now passing in TWO parameters
1
Test
