[Ethereum] How to configure Mist to use a non-default IPC path

configurationipcmist

When using Mist, it always uses the default IPC path to my OS (In this case of OSX this is /Users/me/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc). Is there a way to configure or specify a non-default IPC path for Mist? This would allow me to separate mainnet and testnet IPC connections.

These answers must already be "old" :) ....

On my Mac, Mist version 0.8.2,

/Applications/Mist.app/Contents/MacOS/Mist --rpc /my/path/to/geth.ipc

works fine.

It works with RPC too (and an appropriate warning) i.e.

/Applications/Mist.app/Contents/MacOS/Mist --rpc http://machine:rpcport
