OK, I see your point. Yes, I think it is possible and even not that
much work to do.
I programmed "multiple instances" handling into Lazarus IDE. It's the
same like e.g. Adobe Photoshop or VLC player work - if you start the
IDE without files in cmd parameters, the IDE is started. If you start
IDE with files, the files are opened in already running instance. You
can enable a truly "single instance" (always only single instance
allowed) with an environment setting option.
IMO, we should keep the code in CustApp simple and don't do this
advanced stuff. Only single/multiple instances option. If single
instance is selected, allow to talk with the one single instance
through IPC. If there are multiple instances, you cannot talk to
other instances.
This should be doable.
What do you think?
Exactly what I had in mind, simple yet functional :-)
OK, I'll prepare this one as well. But the Lazarus IDE won't take
advantage of CustApp (it will use AdvancedIPC directly with the custom
advanced possibilities I already programmed).
