Some launchers don't launch duplicates - why ?
When I drag and drop an icon to avant it creates a launcher so I can start programs. Whats got me confused is that sometimes it creates a lanucher which always starts a new instance of the program and other times it creates a launcher which only works with a single instance.
For example, I have two icons which I've drag and dropped onto avant. Both of these icons will try and start a new instance of the program. One is for Eclipse and the other is for a bash command line. I've dragged and dropped these icons on avant which has created two icons on it's bar. THe eclipse icon is acting the same way and every time I click it is starts a new instance of Eclipse. I'd actually like to stop this but for the moment it's fine as it's the same as the behaviour of the icon I dropped.
The second launcher which is for a bash command line behaves differently. Instead of starting a new command shell each time I click it, it tracks and reselects the first one I started. This is different to the icon which I dropped.
Preferably I'd like to be able to choose in an icons preferences which behaviour to use. Or at least I'd like to understand why this is happening. Any ideas ?
