Hi folks,
good news today:
I just removed the code for handling the FIFO to detect a running instance. It never worked as it should and as I imagined it.
Now, we use Unix Domain Sockets. So, the annoying dialog after a crash isn't necessary anymore. Geany detects whether an instance is running and if not, it starts a new one. If an instance is running, it opens all files specified on the command line within this instance, deiconifies the window and gets the focus to the running instance.
That is REALLY good news!!! That dialog was really annoying (at least to me).
just out of curiosity, though: is it at all possible to have two instances running and have new files being opened in the most recent one ? (much like Firefox's behavior of "open in the most recent window")
I really think it won't be possible, and it should not be a big deal anyways. Just wanted to be sure, as I can't test it right now and I'm anxious, lol.
Regards, Enrico
