Hi all,
Thank you all for your input. Seems to be that the mid-term goal should
be to allow the opening of several projects while in the short-term,
people can use one of the workarounds discussed here.
Thanks,
Andreas

Different application document model on OS X. I'd rather not promote
hacks like this, it might confuse OS X users (ie. you get an icon in
the Dock for each app instance, not normal).

Hi,
On Linux or Windows you can easily open QGIS several times, e.g. to
see more than one project side by side. Unfortunately, on OSX, this is
not so easy.
I came across
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/25275/how-to-open-two-projects-at-once-in-one-qgis-window
- suggesting to start it again from the command line with "open -n
/Applications/QGIS.app/" - however, since many OSX users do not know
about the command line - is there a more user friendly trick to open
QGIS a second or third time?
Thanks,
Andreas
