Unfortunately, the Unity wiki page does not share to much information about various Unity components and I am not sure which part is exactly the "Launcher"
>From the point of view of this bug, i guess that the "Launcher" is the left side imitation of Mac OS X Dock. If I click the Ubuntu logo, and then I type "terminal" in the search field .... and then I wait 30 second... I can click on the 'Terminal' icon and it will open a new terminal each time I click it. First I was thinking that this is "The launcher" The always visible, left side launcher, looks to me much more than a launcher since it is also a task manager, trash manager and volume manager. ---------- Getting back to the bug report. Since the always visible, left side toolbar is somehow following the Mac OS X Dock behavior, I was thinking that maybe applications could provide a hint whether they are single or multiple instances. A right click on the "the launcher" will show a "New instance" option in the menu. For example having multiple instances of "Ubuntu software center" is not of much use and could only confuse the users. I can also think of Empathy as only requiring a single instance. ------- Btw. Unity is much more usable than Gnone-shell... keep up the good work :) -- launcher should allow to start several instances of an application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
