Any chance of getting a "start another copy of Textpad" on the file menu, so people like me that would prefer only one copy of Textpad can, when necessary, start a second one?

At the moment if I set "allow multiple instances" false in preferences, that stays false. So to get a second edit window on a file I have to change that setting, open a new window, then remember to change it back when I exit Textpad.

Until this might be implemented:

Wherever you have your shortcut to start textpad, create a copy of that shortcut.
Edit its properties, include the -m switch in the command line, and edit the visible text to something like "Start New Instance of Textpad".


Or you could create a Tool in Textpad, using Textpad as the Command, with -m in the parameter field.

I'd forgotten that possibility. Thanks
