Running multiple instances of Pop Peeper simultaneously

Post by lwc »

Will you consider making a command line like POPPeeper.exe -multi?

Without it, PP simply ignores any attempt to rerun POPPeeper.exe even when using POPPeeper.exe -ini another-file.ini

I tried to "cheat" using Sandboxie but PP blocked it.

Could be super useful for testing, if one wants to keep the regular PP while testing something in another instance.

In case I missed such a command, it's because of the lack of a central documentation for command line options.

For reference, see Firefox's -new-instance.

"-multi" literally exists and does this, but it can cause damage if not used properly, which is why it's not documented.
