Subject: RE: [Crosswalk-dev] About multiple running instance of one
application
Sure, happy to provide input.
No they will have separate logins. True multi-user scenario. The Tizen 3.0
dev team is currently architecting the platform to support this.
[Ming, Bai] Okay got it. That is okay for the current design. Since each
session will have its own crosswalk running instance, I think it's okay to
forbidden running one application multiple times under the same user.
I guess that ok for now. Let’s make the entire thing work and if needed we’ll
improve. On mobile platforms it makes little sense to run multiple time the
same app at the same time for the current user, at least that’s not how
Android/Tizen/iOS/Windows Phone works.
We may reconsider that use case for the desktop platforms as you *can* in
theory run the application multiple times but that’s material for the future.
The limitations are probably the same as a desktop application: the
application data. If the application can deal with simultaneous access
to its data, it should probably be fine.
Maybe we should think about an API that will tell a running instance
that the user attempted to create a new instance of the application, so
the application can decide what to do: shall the running instance get
focus? spawn a new instance? do nothing?
Cheers,
