Run several Chrome browsers simultaneoulsy #29

vitalets commented 10 years ago

Currently, when i try to run Chrome having another Chrome opened I get "Chrome seems already running with process id ..." It is denied because:

if (options.process && !options.multi) 
...

why?

We might be able to change that but some browsers behave weird when you try to start them a second time. Not sure what Chrome does in that case.

I've checked other launchers - they work great with multi Chrome instances. But hey don't have some advantages that laucnhpad has. So, waiting for this to be fixed..

This is probably a good call. I'm wondering if we can get rid of all that discovery logic and not worry about it at all. Almost all browsers simply open a new tab if they don't allow multiple instances.

hi @vitalets , which other launcher do you know that support multi Chrome instances? I'm looking for one :)
