Inappropriate?Theoretically, it should be doing that already in the latest beta minus the configuration preference. Are you using the latest beta?
-
Inappropriate?1.0.1275, which is the latest one I saw on the next site. I'll go look again.
If I say "yes" it opens a 2nd (3rd, etc) instance. If I say "no", it closes. Running on Win XP.
I'd like the behavior to be "on yes, open a new instance. On no, open the old instance." -
Inappropriate?Nope, you're using the right one. I suspect Windows might not like bringing up a window from the background. Can you see if the window is highlighted in the taskbar when you say "No"?
Specifically, try:
* Launching WLA - leave it maximized
* Switch to some other full-screen app
* Launch WLA again
* Say "No"
Look at the task bar. If the window in the taskbar is highlighted, then I'll have to try something different. It works on Linux :-) -
Inappropriate?It doesn't come up.
It's orange for a second, then the taskbar focus goes to the new instance, then nothing has focus after the new instance closes.
It's also fine on Mac OS X. :) -

I think I know how to fix it though!</insert> -
Inappropriate?Err... That should have said Insert mumbling about Windows here. Apparently gsfn likes to futz with the input!
