Bug ID: 377199 Summary: Cannot open multiple versions of Krita simultaneously Product: krita Version: 3.1.2 Platform: Mac OS X Disk Images OS: OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: michi.schw...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- I can't open multiple copies/versions of Krita at the same time, at least on OS X 10.11.6. This makes testing for regressions and comparing the behaviour with an older version very inconvenient. Let's say I open Krita 3.1.2 and then double-click on Krita 3.1.1. The icon briefly appears in the dock and then disappears again. Launching the binary from the command line produces the following output: $ /Applications/Krita\ 3.1.1.app/Contents/MacOS/krita QCoreApplication::arguments: Please instantiate the QApplication object first krita.lib.pigment: Compiled for arch: 4 krita.lib.pigment: Features supported: krita.lib.pigment: "SSE2" --- yes krita.lib.pigment: "SSSE3" --- yes krita.lib.pigment: "SSE4.1" --- yes krita.lib.pigment: "AVX " --- no krita.lib.pigment: "AVX2 " --- no No "breeze" available.

If there is some deeper, hard to fix problem preventing this use-case from working, I would suggest that the second instance of Krita should at least display a dialog explaining why this does now work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
