LightJockey Help
examples of where LJ manager can be used.
LJ Manager must be installed as a separate application and it's functions are documented in a
separate help file and on-line manual.
Configuring LightJockey to startup LJ Manager
LJ manager preferences dialog
Although LJ Manager can be started as a separate application, it may be more practical to have it
launched automatically by LightJockey.
To do so, click LJ Manager on the main menu and open the preferences dialog. Make sure Use
default LJ Manager instance is checked and also check Auto Start LJ manager. LJ manager will now
be automatically launched as soon as LightJockey has initialized after startup.
LJ Manager user data
LJ Manager saves it's user data in the current user library of LightJockey. This means that data saved
from LJ manager is included in the regular LightJockey backup option and restore files.
Multiple installations issues
When LJ Manager is installed it registers itself as the 'default instance' in Windows registry. If LJ is
setup to launch the default instance it will always use the latest installed instance. To maintain a
system with several instances of LightJockey and/or LJ manager installed there are a few issues that
should be onsidered.
A specific installation (which can be different from the default instance) of LJ manager can be used by
checking Use specific LJ Manager instance and locate the LJManager.exe through the file dialog
(click to open file dialog). However, do be aware that since LJ Manager stores data in the current
LightJockey user library, different LJ Manager instances should be used from different LJ user libraries
or even different LJ installations - otherwise different LJ manager instances may actually use the same
data which can be a problematic if the instances are of different versions.
