PharoLauncher can only run 1 instance on OSX?
 
|
I really like the PharoLauncher project - it’s very handy. However I’ve noticed that on OSX when I launch an image and then try and run PhaorLauncher (e.g. pharo.app) again, it just switches me to my already running image?
Anyone know why it does that - or if there is some way to avoid it? i’m wondering it its the way that the launcher, launches the images (is it an os sub-process or something - and so this is why it just switches back to that process if you try and run it again?). Tim |

Hello,
i think you select the option "Quit on Launch" (by default) on Pharo Launcher. That's why when you're clicking it just switches to your running image. Try to deselect this option and retry.

Hi - thanks for suggesting that. It’s actually set to true - and on OSX Mavericks, with that setting it seems that when I launch a new image (and it supposedly quits) - when I run the launcher again - it just takes me to the image that was just launched. (I swear it didn’t do that at some point - and I’m not sure if its since I updated to Mavericks - or whether my other OSX computer doesn’t exhibit this behaviour).
Anyway - if I uncheck it (and leave the launcher running) - then I can at least launch other images (and if I run the app again - it seems to bring the running launcher to the foreground). If I try and quit the launcher manually after launching an image - it still exhibit this same behaviour. It’s quite strange? (but at least I have a workaround). By the way - do you know how you save that setting? I thought it save automatically, but it didn’t seem to. I pressed the export button - but and that seemed to do it, but I wasn’t convinced that is actually save?

When I noticed this, it had been a few days since anything changed, so I can't pin down what that might be. Maybe I downloaded a newer VM from files.pharo.org, or maybe I re-installed PharoLauncher with a later version, or maybe an OSX update. My PharoLauncher's current system details are: * Image: #30848 . * VM: Mac Cocoa Cog 5.8b12 21-Sep-10 NBCoInterpreter NativeBoost-CogPlugin-GuillermoPolito.19 May 15 2014 NBCogit NativeBoostCogPlugin-GuillermoPolito.19 May 15 2014. cheers -ben |

Thanks Ben - you are right, there has been another release since I downloaded it (might have to look at how to detect a version update in the launcher to spot that - that would keep me busy ;)
I’m fixed now. Tim On 9 Aug 2014, at 06:29, Ben Coman <[hidden email]> wrote: > Tim Mackinnon wrote: >> I really like the PharoLauncher project - it’s very handy.

Actually Ben - I take it back, it still seems to want to only launch a single instance with v.3.0.0 - I’m not sure what’s going on (and when i’m back at the office I will have to check it with my desktop version as swear it was working properly).
