When I write for example "worpad", "notepad" or "total-commander"…
Then AL launch 2 instances of that application.
There is something I can make to avoid this behavior?

hmm.. Never ever seen that behavior.. Could you post the log file as well to see if something strange is going on. This file can be found under your appdata directory: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\AL_log.txt if your running the English version of Windows.
The next thing you can test is to open AL, write wordpad and then hold your mouse over the wordpad icon that popsup in the lower left corner of the app. If you do that you will see which file is executed. Then try to execute that file manually to see if two instances are opened then as well..

or do you mean that you have launched one instance of wordpad with AL then you launch another and a new instance is launched instead of the one you already launched gaining focus?

NO, is the first.
The log-file is empty because I erase all the files of the program (even the log-file and (applist.dat; config.dat; history.dat; aliases.txt) from %APPDATA%\AL) before reinstall it, in order to prove if that would solve the problem, but no.

I try that with several xxxx.lnk and work fine in Start-Menu or Run-Dialog but 2-instances in AL.
I began to write alias for all porgramas, because the alias work well, but is not the ideal
PS:Forget to say that in any case AL it is a great program. Mainly for who has used katapult and miss it in Windows.

Think I found the error in the code so I will try to incorporate a fix for this and create a new version during the weekend. Thanks for the bug report!

Will use a few days testing this new version before I let it out into the open but if you wanna try it out before it's released here on SF I have made it available to you here for a short while:
Think your bug is fixed but since I couldn't reproduce it I can't be sure though..
Changelog since version 0.1.6:
- Updated to python 2.5.
- upgraded to latest available wxPython version 2.8.4.0
- Now we listen to the directories that has been added to AL and request
an idle reindex when they change. An idle reindex is a reindex that is
performed only after the machine has been idle for 10 minutes. That is, no
keyboard nor mouse input for the last 10 minutes. This will reduce the need
for forced reindexes.
- Fixed bug where we sometimes when "guessing" encoding fired off more than
one instance of the user requested application
- Set tooltip when using search plugins. Using the short description they offer.
- When a serch plugin fires, the pattern that triggers the plugin from
the panel showing what's going to be executed is no longer displayed.
- Added username to unique application name used to figure out if an
instance is already running so that several users on the same machine
is able to use AL at the same time.
Enjoy

Also please uninstall before installing this new version. This is important since I have changed the embedded python version. If you do not all kind of errors will fly..

Thank you very much, the problem no longer exists in AL_V1_0_7.
Great news :) I'll release this new version tonight then.
