Hi,

Is it possible to have multiple projects open at the same time? Every
time I open one, it closes the previous one.

Thanks in advance,

coyot

No, each instance of Wing only has one project open at a time. However,
you can run multiple instances of Wing from the command line with the
--new option to create a new instance.

Please let me know if this does not help.

Thanks,

I can live with that workaround, thanks.

The motivating use case is that I develop on a Mac and often have
multiple things in-flight at the same time, so each gets a workspace on
the desktop and a project in Wing and so it is helpful to be able to
shift between workspaces to switch tasks without closing the previous one.

Best,

coyot

Also if you open a new instance of WingIDE from the icon it will prompt
you that the project is already open and give you the choice between
read only or a different project, (certainly on Windows).

I am trying to open multiple instances of WingIDE Pro in Mac OSX to work on
two projects. The --new option seems to be a Windows thing. On a mac, the
command to open a 2nd instance of an app would be

open -n /Applications/WingIDE.app

But this doesn't work, it transfers focus to the already open instance.

Any ideas?

thx

The .app does not send through command line arguments, but you can do this:

/Applications/WingIDE.app/Contents/Resources/wing --new

Please let me know if this does not help.
