Tip: Start Blender twice on OSX/IntelMac

Hi
Whereas baking a fluid with high resolution i got
a little bit boared. So i tried to optimize my workflow.
I installed Blender PPC additional to Blenderi386.

So i can bake or render with one version, whereas
do constructing on the other one.
Enough RAM is an advantage.
I386 is running native and PPC-version under Rosetta-emulation.
Be shure not to get confused with the paths !

Have fun...Jens

Why not run two intel native versions at once, just from different locations?

or create an alias to blender

Hi LetterRip
Yes, you´re right. This will work too, with less ram-consumption.
I thought first about a better separation, but while blender has
his own prefs in the package, it works as you said.

@ Timothy: Sorry, an alias is nonsens, for this starts the original.
I need a second instance to work, when first instance bakes...
