#171 Multiple opened windows

[Русский]

Hello,

I am running xournal-git 20130523-2 on Arch Linux. What I noticed is that whenever I am opening a new window, my current window gets closed regardless of its content. This is really annoying as this means that I cannot edit two different contents at the same time.

Is it possible to add support for multiple opened windows at the same time?

How do you try to "open a new window"? File -> New or File -> Open do
not open a new window, they open a new file in the current window. If
you want a new window, you need to start a new instance of xournal by
starting the application again (or by clicking on a .xoj file in the
file manager to open it in a new instance.)

If the issue is that Gnome 3 doesn't want to start a new instance of
xournal (or any other application that doesn't do multiple windows in a
same instance) by clicking on its launcher when it's already open, you
could file that as a bug or feature-request for Gnome 3 -- or use
gnome-tweak-tool, "Shell Extensions" tab, to switch on the "Launch new
instance" standard extension to fix this misbehavior.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for pointing me to the Gnome 3 extension. I was indeed having that problem that I tried to open a new instance from Gnome Dashboard which never worked.

That is, working with different opened instances is sufficient for me.

Thanks!
