Alts w/ Low video, main w/ High video?

Hello all,

Before installing Isboxer I ran my alt accounts on different client installations. I'd use a symbolic link to "fake" the data folder and basically not have to dedicate much storage space to the alt-clients.
I'd have each of my alt account/clients then set to 1-video quality, while my main client has 10 settings.

But ISboxer runs using the same one client, launched multiple times. And I really don't want to have 4x alt accounts running at 10-settings when I barely look at them or use them. They literally just /follow while my main kills stuff and then they hope to get lucky on a mount drop.

- Is there any functionality for ISBoxer to launch different client/program installations instead of the same one over and over?
- Is there any manner available to save video settings per-account rather than per-client/installation?

ISBoxer seems to really be designed around the idea that all characters being controlled are equally powerful and contribute equal parts to a combat encounter - didicating so much to quick-swapping window locations, setting up character-specific teams etc... I really just want to broadcast keystrokes to the other clients honestly and leave all of the game launching, logging in, following, etc to me and macros.

ISBoxer has copies of the config.wtf files for each character, so you can have different settings per character. This is setup by default via the Quick Setup Wizard. https://isboxer.com/wiki/Virtual_Files

You can also setup a slot swap macro or two, so depending on which is the main, you get better quality.

As for the rest. You can setup what you want. If you use the ISBoxer Addon, which provides Follow and Assist, then you would need character specific teams because it needs to know the toons names to configure the macros. If you don't want to use the ISBoxer Addon's follow and assist capabilities, then you could have just a generic team, and send some keystrokes to trigger any of your ingame setup.
