[Bug 868524] Re: Unity easier way to create new instance from launcher without middle mouse button

2011-11-18 Thread Reece H. Dunn
@Someone: I was replying to Omer Akram's "you can report invidual bug
for apps you think should have this in their quicklist.", not your
suggestion.

Sorry for not making that clear.

[Bug 868524] Re: Unity easier way to create new instance from launcher without middle mouse button

2011-11-18 Thread Someone
In reply to Reece, that's again not what this defect report is about. I
don't expect you to manually check each and every application and add an
entry to open a new instance...

I simply request to leverage an existing functionality in Unity to make it more 
comfortable.
It is already possible to open a new instance for an already running 
application you use middle-click or super+shift+, I merely ask 
for the addition of a shift+leftclick shortcut so it's more comfortable for 
people with no middle mouse button (touchpads for example).

In addition there is no reason to have an entry with the name of an
application in it's right click menu in the launcher that does exactly
the same as clicking the application... so why not do what Windows 7
did? Windows 7 has the same entry in it's own right click menu
(jumplist) clicking it opens a new instance of an already running
application or just starts it if it's not running.

This is a change that would be done solely in Unity not in every single
application, and since as noted it's up to each application to handle
multiple instance or block them, this will work as intended and already
does work as intended using the existing shortcuts.

[Bug 868524] Re: Unity easier way to create new instance from launcher without middle mouse button

2011-11-14 Thread Reece H. Dunn
Do you really want us to raise a bug for every application where we want
a "launch/open new instance" option (gvim, gedit, firefox, nautilus,
...)? That would end up being hundreds of bugs, not counting duplicates.

Also, what about custom applications that are pinned to the launcher
(e.g. Firefox Nightly, UX, Aurora, etc. builds downloaded and extracted
from mozilla)?

Not having an "open new instance" menu option from the launcher does not
stop people running new instances of the application from the Dash Home
or a Terminal Shell command line, so are multiple instances going to be
prevented from being opened in these cases? It is just more user
friendly to have the option to open a new instance from the launcher.

If there is a problem with an application running more than one
instance, it should be upto that application to handle it properly (e.g.
rhythmbox focuses on an already active instance). If it doesn't work
properly, there should be a defect for that application.

Yes, but I think it's logical to also have shift+leftclick on an icon do the 
same (open a new instance)
Maybe also changing the entry that shows the application name on the quicklist 
(right click menu) to open a  new instance cause as it stands this entry is 
useless.

I can't understand your logic.
In nearly every single system I've seen it's up to the application itself to 
prevent multiple instances or handle them correctly (e.g. open a new tab)
You can already open a new instance of the application by just selecting it in 
the Dash again or using the shortcuts which are already available mentioned in 
the bug description.

This bug/enhancement request merely request providing a shortcuts that
are more accessible without a middle mouse button.

[Bug 868524] Re: Unity easier way to create new instance from launcher without middle mouse button

2011-10-17 Thread Omer Akram
this has been discussed in the past and the answer from design was "No"
there are many app where opening a new instance does not work at all and
it seems there is no way to programatically know if a new instance of an
app can be launched so implementing this would cause problems. you can
report invidual bug for apps you think should have this in their
quicklist.
