Multi-window support ?

How to create multiple windows in the desktop environment?

If this is about several instance of the same windows, you can just use MyWindow::new() several time and call .show() on multiple window.

If you need several window of different kind, you currently need to use the slint! macro several time. The problem is that they are all independent from eachother and don't share the datastructure and all. (and it is also not possible with slint-build yet https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/issues/3217 )

In the future we plan to support multiple component from the same file:

can a window communicate to another window through the Rust code?
