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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868524 Title: Unity easier way to create new instance from launcher without middle mouse button To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/868524/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
