Regarding Bug 37531
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37531), here is a patch
that will append the current PID to the IPC pipe and allow multiple
instances of LO to run. In particular, this facilitates batch file
conversions from the CLI while a GUI instance is running.
Based on what I've seen of the code, it would appear that multiple
instances should work without this trickery - however, that does not
seem to be the case at present.
Feedback appreciated.
No, this will not work. Many places in the LO code base assume that
there is only one soffice.bin process ever concurrently modifying a LO
user configuration (the directory tree at ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user
on Linux, etc.). -- That is the main reason why there is code to detect
an already running instance and load any work off to it in the first place.
