There are several ways to set up a second client on your Mac. The method detailed below uses a minimal amount of disk space, and requires no third-party applications or scripts.
Creating a Second Client
- Navigate to your applications folder, and find the EVE Online application.
File:DB Applications Folder.png
- Right-click on the icon, and select 'duplicate' from the drop-down menu.
- Re-name the new copy 'EVE Online 2'.
- Right-click on the new copy, and select 'show package contents'.
- A new window will open up containing a folder called 'contents'. Open it, and drag the folders named 'Frameworks' and 'Resources' to the trash.
- Go back to your applications folder, and open the double click on the icon marked 'Terminal'.
- Type 'cd '. Note the space.
- Drag the contents folder to the terminal window. This should copy the exact path of the folder. Hit return.
- Copy/paste this command into the terminal window, then press return again.
ln -s /Applications/EVE\ Online.app/Contents/Frameworks Frameworks
- And do the same with this command. You can close the terminal window now.
ln -s /Applications/EVE\ Online.app/Contents/Resources Resources
- Back in the package contents folder, right-click on the file named 'Info.plist', and select 'Open with' -> 'Textedit'.
- Locate this chunk of text, and change 'EVE Online' to 'EVE Online 2'
<key>PrefsFolderName</key> <string>EVE Online</string>
- Save and close the file.
