Why? Is that parts of the Mac way.. single instance of a running application? Should be possible (eventually). I think the common method is for there to be some IPC code in the app (perhaps DBus, perhaps other) - which looks for other instances. If one exists, it sends the other instance a command to open the requested file - then itself exits. > Gimp for OS X > has been using the X11 server and some OS X look-alike themes for a > while, and it integrates pretty well due to the gimp-remote command. > I think I saw some D-BUS automation interface to PCB - is there > something similar on gschem?
