Multiple CrossWorks Instances

I'm using CrossWorks for ARM 4.06. With this release and previous ones I can't launch multiple instances in my MacOS (I'm using 10.13 right now, but the same happened with previews versions). On the other hand, this feature works in my CrossWorks for Windows version. I have my colleague with the same problem in a different computer. The flag on Environment -> Startup -> Allow Multiple CrossWorks is already set to "YES". Do anybody have some ideas on what can I do?

    macOS itself prevents multiple instances of any application from running when opened through the GUI. You can however open multiple instances of an application from the command line using the open -n command. For example:

    open -n "/Applications/CrossWorks for ARM 4.0/CrossStudio for ARM 4.0.app"

    I have done it with Automator so I do not need to start a command line each time.

    In Automator ...

    • menu: File, New
    • dialog: Application, Choose
    • drag Run Shell Script action from action list into the action pane
    • enter open -n "/Applications/CrossWorks for ARM 4.2/CrossStudio for ARM 4.2.app" in the action text field
    • menu: File, Save

    Then you just need to click on the application script to start a new instance of CrossWorks.
    Faster still, drag the application script icon into the dock, then each time you click on the docked icon it start a new instance of CrossWorks. 8-)
