Description Dmitri Pogosian 2010-10-16 02:53:32 UTC

To open kile in a new window after one instance is running kile should be called
as "kile --new".  Current kile.desktop sets exec=kile so when one instance of kile is running, selecting kile in the menu does nothing.

It is more logical to have exec=kile --new, so that menu selection will always launch a new instance of kile.

Reproducible: Always

I dont think we want to change the upstream default settings. This is just a matter of taste... and should also be configurable on user profile level...

OK, although it is not exactly matter of taste.  Once you launch KIle from a menu, the second press on the menu item does nothing, and there is no feedback of any kind. Which is traditionally considered as classical UI error.
