How exactly are you opening a second instance? As I don't recognise using shift to do anything like that.

The default wacup behaviour is to not run multiple instances (unless you've disabled the option in the preferences) with the Ctrl+Alt+N action from an existing wacup instance being the way to trigger a new instance. That Ctrl+Alt+N action will prompt you to make a copy of the settings folder from the original instance being used to avoid the problems that can occur with multiple instances vs using a single settings folder. Alternatively you can use the command-line options (wacup.exe /?) to make different instances use specific config folders.

I don't see there being anything for me to do when there's already things in place to avoid the data corruption that multiple instances can cause using the formally provided means to achieve it.
