Hi, I run 4 instances besides the main one, all are set to load automathically some chartbooks which sit in the corresponding data folders. If I want to add/delete a chartbook from the list of the open-at-start ones I use global settings>...>add etc. and the window points correctly to the right data folder (sierrachart_1/data, sietrachart_2/data and so on). Today I added a new separated instance (the fifth one) but if I try to add a chartbook at its start, it points only to the data folder of the main Sierrachart. Why?

In that sub-instance, check the following setting and ensure it is set to the "Data" folder within that 5th instance: General Settings Window: Data Files Folder (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Paths >> Files and Folder Paths) And you may want to set the option for "Always Use 'Data' Folder within Main Folder" to "Yes" as well. Most likely these are all set correctly, and what you are seeing is just a holdover from when the sub-instance is first created. When a new sub-instance is first created, the files from the main instance are copied to it. So you are most likely just seeing it point to the main instance 'Data' folder due to this. In this case, just change the folder to the 'Data' folder within the 5th sub-instance and go forward from there.
