It's possible but there are potential issues. zmNinja for desktop uses localStorage to store data. When you have two instances sharing the same localStorage, the behavior is undefined in terms of data consistency. In general, you will notice that one window will not see the data changes made in another and only when its restarted will the 'latest' data be saved. So its best to only use this in read only mode and when you make changes, use only one window.

If you are in slack tomorrow I can give you a version to test.

So... tryed out the --path= and it worked perfectly!
mkdir -p /home/user/Desktop/zmNinja/instance1
zmninjapro-1.3.18-x86_64.AppImage --fs --path=/home/user/Desktop/zmNinja/instance1
