Multi-instance for the same script

[csphoenix1]

Hi !

Before this feature #94, if we wanted to launch a multiple instance of this current script which is running, we have just to open a new tab.
Now, we can't because we going back to the running instance.

Going back to the running instance is really really cool ! But maybe we can add an improvement to allow the run of multiple instances of a same script?
I think it is not easy, but that could be cool too :)

Ye, this is definitely needed, I was waiting for this ticket (if anybody would need such functionality).
The hardest part of this issue is to make it in a user-friendly way. I'll think about it

[csphoenix1]

I though about the interface and maybe we can do like the browser (with tabs).

What do you think about it?

Hi @csphoenix1, good idea, I had similar idea also :) But I'm thinking about putting the "tabs" to the right of script name, to save some vertical space

Hi @bugy, cool :)
About the position, I'm afraid there is a probleme if the script name is long (on my server, I have some script which are a little long ^^).
A tab row is not very very high, maybe 20px? I'm not very good in design but I believe in you, if you think it's better, I'm okey with you :)

I hope anybody if following this thread :) I'm struggling a little bit with design, so far I came up with some ideas (screenshot attached). Any preferences here? :)

Hi,

In my system, that wouldn't be a function that would be used much.

But I probably like the last one...

[antonellocaroli]

or maybe this one

Hi @antonellocaroli thanks for the feedback!

Hi @bugy,

I love have lot information without additionnal click, and I love see the informations easily, so the one for me is a mix between 2 of your purposes.

The reasons :

• We can have the full list and the state of each instances without additionnal clicks : all instance are displayed with their states.
• We can see very easily the thread on which one we are (underlined, in black and bold), and the other are in grey, and in a smaller size.
• We can add very fastly (and with few mouse movements) a new instance (just after click on the runner) thanks to the button which is near on the left).

:)

Good job in all cases :)

Done :) Feel free to get latest dev version and test it :)
