Executable Types of the App
The TWELITE STAGE APP has two types of executables.
- TWELITE_Stage.{extension} - Launches with standard settings.
- TWELITE_Stage_VSCode.{extension} - Configured to “Use VSCode” (settings saved in
TWELITE_Stage_VSCode.ini). When the VSCode usage setting is enabled, the app operates in a way suitable for development work using VSCode.
The TWELITE STAGE APP does not produce errors when multiple instances are launched, but some features (such as the sensor graph function) may malfunction if multiple instances are running simultaneously.
