<ul></ul><p>I have often run two frontends on one display. I might want to leave one frontend in the create dvd progress screen and another watching a recording. I can flip to see how the dvd burn is going simply by alt-tab'ing between the frontends. There may be many other use cases where you might want to do this.</p> LinHES - Bug #389: alt+m can launch multiple frontendshttp://linhes.org/issues/389?journal_id=20742009-07-31T10:39:40+00:00Humanbob@stormlogic.com
<ul></ul><p>That's valid, but given that it's possible to unintentionally launch multiple frontends without significant feedback, I'd feel better if there were a dialog that would confirm that the user wants to run two frontends at the same time. I wouldn't want to take away your ability to do this, but I also don't want people doing this accidentally.</p>
<p>Your usage also suggests another angle on this: If there were a way to auto-suggest launching a second frontend when a user is about to start (or just started) a lengthy process, that would help avoid bottlenecks among users who don't know they can launch another frontend.</p> LinHES - Bug #389: alt+m can launch multiple frontendshttp://linhes.org/issues/389?journal_id=20752009-07-31T18:12:31+00:00GregFrostgregfrost1@bigpond.com.au
<ul></ul><p>Good idea. Something like "There [are already n frontends|is already a frontend] running. Do you really want to start another one? Start Another Frontend/No"</p> LinHES - Bug #389: alt+m can launch multiple frontendshttp://linhes.org/issues/389?journal_id=20762010-02-10T18:01:21+00:00brfransen
<ul></ul><p>Attached is a script that will display an xmessage window if more than 1 mythfrontend PID if found. Maybe when MythVantage is ready for .22+ we can use that for the GUI so that it would work with the users remote control and nicer looking.</p> LinHES - Bug #389: alt+m can launch multiple frontendshttp://linhes.org/issues/389?journal_id=27802010-03-21T19:20:22+00:00jams
