Matt Rice and I have been looking at the duplication issue too. We have a patch that
fixes it, and currently I'm Thinking Really Hard about whether it's the Right Thing.

Summary: Duplicate application launching
Original Submission: If I launch an application, that is already running, i get an
alert panel asking me about renaming, ignoring or aborting. I would expect that the
existing application instance will be activated instead. So the behaviour should be:
If there is already running application, activate it, if there is not, launch it.
Btw. are there any situations, where one would like to have two instances of one
application open? How are they compared to the usual situations?
>From the point of user, I consider this to be a bug. Moreover, it is another
>additional confusion.

Alex M. applied something in cvs for me which I believe should
fix this.
where connecting to the running application would fail in some
cases (see ChangeLog)
though i'm not seeing the ordering front of the clicked on application and haven't
tried the keyboard modifier, I'm guessing those cases should be handled in GWorkspace

I'm not sure what context you are referring to (ie what application launching
mechanism you are talking about).
Certainly I like the behavior the NeXT workspace used to haver, where double clicking
on an application in the workspace would simply bring the app windows to the front if
the app was already running, but a keyboard modifier would force the launch of another
copy of the application.
I see that as an issue for the workspace manager ...
If it uses the NSWorkspace method launchApplication:shoiwIcon:autolaunche: the
behavior should be the one we like. Are you saying that there are circumstances where
this method does not work properly?
Or are you talking about some other situation entirely?
