Public bug reported:
Attempt to run another gparted instance is rejected with
The process gpartedbin is already running.
Only one gpartedbin process is permitted.
As I understand this is done on purpose, but it is also painful. I have at
least two use-cases
where I love to have two gparted windows open:
a) partitioning two different disks simultaneously
(esp. when some partitions are to be pairwise identical)
b) partitioning new disk while looking at the layout of the old one
(esp. when some partitions on new disk are to replace old disk, so it is
handy to either match
sizes, or labels, or both, or …)
PS Yeay, I know, I can run gpartedbin directly. But I decided to raise this as
I think it is worthwhile to consider how to have more than one gparted window
open *safely*.
