moreThanOneInstanceAllowed()'s desription

[Shlomi]

Hi.

The documentation for the moreThanOneInstanceAllowed() has this sentence:

If your application class returns true for this, more than one instance is permitted to run (except on the Mac where this isn’t possible).

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what isn’t possible on Mac?

Thanks

Ah, got it, can’t prevent multiple instances on Mac

You mean, you can’t have multiple instances on the Mac…?

[Shlomi]

Wow, didn’t know that…
Thanks Vincent.

Just out of curiosity, I googled it and found this thread on Stackoverflow which stats that one can open multiple instances using “open -n”.

So what’s wrong with that approach?

Thanks

Yeah, I guess my wording there isn’t 100% clear! I’ll rephrase it…
