The easier we make it, the better. Lazarus is a RAD environment, after all.

OK, I see your point. Yes, I think it is possible and even not that much work
to do.
I programmed "multiple instances" handling into Lazarus IDE. It's the same
like e.g. Adobe Photoshop or VLC player work - if you start the IDE without
files in cmd parameters, the IDE is started. If you start IDE with files, the
files are opened in already running instance. You can enable a truly "single
instance" (always only single instance allowed) with an environment setting
option.
IMO, we should keep the code in CustApp simple and don't do this advanced
stuff. Only single/multiple instances option. If single instance is selected,
allow to talk with the one single instance through IPC. If there are multiple
instances, you cannot talk to other instances.
This should be doable.
What do you think?
Exactly what I had in mind, simple yet functional :-)
Michael.
