    Cool Perma Set Video options and sign in.

    My set up:
    1. Dual box with full screen and small pip just as a watcher.
    2. Full Screen at 1920 x 1080 resolution pip resolution at default.

    Issue:
    Want to know if it is possible to have keyclone setup my screens the same way, the full screen when I hit "connect" to sign them in, I want my Video Settings at max with all the bells and whistles, and the pip screen at bare minimum settings, I can change them manually after I get in, but is there a way to have it start up that way without creating a completely different wow folder? And for some reason if I try to change the speed from 60 to 75 rates it completely takes out that particular screen from being tracked by Keyclone. So I'd have to close them out and reconnect by hitting "connect" again.

    Sign in issue:
    Still with the new battlenet account I can not get it set up to start up my screens with the fields already inputted, its only starting up with my account names in the fields where my email is supposed to go. Also I'd like that my actually account is preselected but I guess that would go with the same way of saving the video settings for the start up.

    Can anyone help me with this. I think the software founder is busy, haven't been able to get him to answer emails on this.

    To accomplish this with keyclone, you will need to implement some kind of multi directory setup for wow. The simplest way is just to have one WoW directory for you main screen with all the bells and whistles enabled and a second WoW directory for all of the other windows with minimal graphics settings. The reason you have to do this is that there is only one config.wtf file where your video settings are stored in the WoW folder. However, this will only fix your video settings question. To fix your character selection, you would need a folder for each character to ensure that the correct character is selected. Again this relates back to the config.wtf file. There is a reference in the config.wtf to the last character selected, but it is done by character slot. So you might be ok if all of your characters are in the same slot. For example, account 1 has your tank in slot 1, account 2 has your healer in slot 1, account 3 has your first dps in slot 1, etc. If this is the case, you'll be fine. But, if say it is something like account 1 has your tank in slot 1, account 2 has a mule in slot 1, account 3 has a different character in slot 1, then this wouldn't work.

    I used a multi directory setup for a long time and it never really bothered me, but now that I have switched to ISBoxer, I have to say that having one directory is pretty nice. One set of addons to update, one directory to patch, etc. ISBoxer uses virtual config.wtf files for each character you add to your setup. It just one of many nifty features that puts ISBoxer head and shoulders above the competition.

    There are other ways to accomplish the same thing without having to copy the entire WoW folder. There are some guides here somewhere that explain how to use sym links. I never used them, so I leave it up to the guides or someone else to comment on symlink setups.

    sym-linking your slave's WoW directory is most likely the easiest way to accomplish both goals with keyclone (well, maybe not the easiest but is what solved both of those issues for me).
