Unable to open multiple instances with unique scripts #239

Open videosmith opened 5 months ago

videosmith commented 5 months ago

Bug Description Upon saving a second instance of QPROMPT with a unique script, the first instance changes to match the second.

Expected behavior Instances should preserve unique contents like multiple Word documents.

When you say unique script, you mean these scripts have been saved to uniquely different files? I see no reason why this should happen when working on separate files, because each instance of QPrompt is completely independent from the others.

Assuming that what you say is correct, I suspect that the two instances might have both opened the same file at some point of their execution, and later opened a different file on at least one of the instances. That would mean there's a bug with the file watcher.

Does my hypothesis match your experience?

Completely different files. Created the first instance, loaded/edited/saved a file. Created a second instance, loaded/edited a second file. Upon saving, both instances identical as far as i can determine. On Friday, January 5, 2024 at 12:51:49 PM EST, Javier O. Cordero Pérez @.***> wrote:

It seems to occur when scripts have been previously loaded and edited/saved.

Perhaps linked to the ability to load the last script upon launching somehow? Even though the app instances are already launched?

I think this could be it. Making as a bug for now, tho I haven't had the chance to replicate.
