It is not possible to load multiples engines simultaneously.

[jed33]

Hi,
First, I should clarify that I am a user, not a developer. The problem is that it is currently impossible to load multiple engines simultaneously. If I try to load a second engine, it simply replaces the currently loaded one (via "Tools/Start Engine"). In Scid, it is possible to load a second engine via the "Tools/Configure Engine" menu by double-clicking the chosen engine, but when I do this, nothing happens.
Is it possible to fix this?
Best regards,

@jed33 : Thanks for the report and request. I will take a look at trying to match what you can do in Scid. I will report back.

@jed33 : version 5.1.3.57 now allows you to open as many Analysis Windows as you like by double clicking an engine in the pop up dialog that comes up when you select either Configure Engines or Analysis Engine.. under the Tools menu. Three windows open below to illustrate this.

This was a nice feature improvement: thank you for the request.

Also FWIW, this ability to open multiple Analysis windows is also available in Scid vs PC (but not Scid).
