Can I just add my request to the list to sort out the implementation process so that different versions of Cura can co-exist on the same laptop. I would love to get my teeth into 2.4 beta but I am too busy at the moment to risk screwing the machine and not being able to get 2.3.1 back quickly and correctly. Right now a loss of a days production would be disastrous and will remain so for some considerable time.
I guess I could spend 500eu on another laptop but that sort of defeats the object of Cura being free. Mind you I wold be happy to pay for Cura if this sort of thing was working.
I agree. Having two versions of Cura on the same machine would be great.
I have just realized a possible workaround for this under Windows 7 - 10:
Create a New User Account on Windows
Cura already installs the code in its on versioned folders:
c:\Program Files\Cura 2.3c:\Program Files\Cura 2.3.1
So the problem lies in the Profiles folder, which in this case is conveniently stored under the User's Profile folder:
c:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\cura
So if you create a new User account in Windows, you'll be able to install a different version of Cura under that account and it will but the Profile data for that version under that User account:
c:\Users\DaHai\AppData\Local\curac:\Users\ThorBeast\AppData\Local\cura
Then you can just switch users to switch Cura versions.
Not an elegant solution, but perhaps a patch until multiple versions are supported under the same User account.

Nice idea @neotko although lol I am getting too old to muck around with that sort of stuff. Mind you it would be a good way to get Windows 7.1 back, so just maybe 8)...
