Hi all! Does anyone have an idea what command line arguments or switches to pass to an MDI application, so that, when a running instance of the application exists in system memory, a new one isn't spawned?
I believe that kind of arguments to be local to the application, and not global in X, but feel free to correct me... Specifically, I use gFTP to open a remote site, and Bluefish to edit web documents. When called from gFTP to edit a document, the above desired effect is produced, but that is obviously due to the following settings in Bluefish: Edit > Preferences > Files: [x] Open files in already running bluefish window However, focus is not returned to the editor, and when I manually switch to it, the new document tab is not brought to the front. I cannot find any window manager settings (sawfish) to control this behavior, although I think that at least the first step has to do with window management. Fixing this would make editing a little smoother. I use perlpanel as a taskbar, by the way. Maybe that causes the focus problems? Now I don't mind Bluefish, but I would like to try other editors for their features (speed, simplicity, etc.), but so far no one opens in the desired way. Thanks for any pointers or info! greetings, probot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
