First of all, thanks for the fantastic product. Now the question: Is it possible to launch multiple instances of MQTT-Explorer each connect to a different broker?

I'll have a look into that

I do that all the time. I monitor serveral brokers with MQTT-Explorer it became a crucial tool for me. For example when I config bridge modes I have two instances running in split screen.

What is some times an issue is, that I also use it on different machines but with same Active Directory User Account at the same time. And since usersettings are persisted in roaming folder it toasts some errors.

How do you do that? On Mac, when I open the app second time, it will always show the first instance and no thing happened.

I would be curious about that as well :)

Besides multiple instances: on mac this will probably be same instance and multiple windows.

Having multiple connections open at the same time would be great!

On MacOS if you run /Applications/MQTT\ Explorer.app/Contents/MacOS/MQTT\ Explorer from Terminal, it'll launch an additional window. However, this a workaround. I would love a New Window option.
