Startup
An installer file for the latest Pisces release is available for download at https://github.com/usbr/Pisces/releases.
Installing Pisces is not necessary if you are compiling from the source code using Visual Studio. Note that you would have to enable NuGet Package Restore functionality and set the Pisces project as the start-up project if you want to compile and open an instance of Pisces from the source code.
When you first open Pisces, it will try to access a Pisces database (*.pdb) file in C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\ named tsdatabase.pdb. If this file is not found, Pisces will create this file for you.
Opening Pisces will result in an error if a tsdatabase.pdb file generated by the older Pisces1.0 version already exists in the directory. If this is the case, you may simply delete or rename the old tsdatabase.pdb file in order for the Pisces2.0 to work.
By default, Pisces will open the *.pdb file in your Documents directory when you click on the Pisces icon. You may however, copy the tsdatabase.pdb file generated in this directory and paste it elsewhere or rename it so that you may have several different Pisces database files.
Associating the file extension *.pdb to Pisces will then allow you to just double-click on the different Pisces database files and open Pisces automatically.
