Intentional, you may want to see a repo from several aspects

gpbicego commented 4 years ago

Thanks for response, I think it should be a voluntary choice to be able to open multiple instances of Git Extensions for the same repository. I use GitExt-Browse from Visual Studio to open / switch Git Extensions and it is annoying to find multiple open instances of the program. If not possible, Git Extension is still my favorite program to work with Git, thanks all the same to the team.

Can you please specify what you want in a little more detail: If Browse is running already for another repo, do you want a new instance to be opened or reuse the same?

gpbicego commented 4 years ago

If Browse is running already for another repo, I would like to open a new instance. If Browse is running already for the same repo, I would like to reuse the same.

Makes sense to me. Though the context menu of the GE icon in the Windows taskbar shall always open a new instance.
