[multiple instances] Modal Warning "Only one instance..." message is annoying

[vodihu]

I like to have only one instance of Logexpert, as settings "view Settings => Allow only 1 Instance" assume. But I could not get rid of this annoying Messagebox.

• LogExpert Version: 1.9.0
• Windows Version: 11

Thanke you very much, for keeping Logexpert alive!

Ah I see, problem is, you get the error message always, even after the first time, that is quite annoying.

The Message comes from the newly started instance, so not quite sure yet how to make the message only popup once

Thanke you very much, for keeping Logexpert alive!

No problem, I use it daily at my work place, that's one of the many reasons I try to keep it alive and supported

I second the notion to get rid of this modal so that it doesn't pop up every time a new tab/instance is started. Maybe you could add a "Don't show again" checkbox and link it to a settings file?
Anyways, also thanks from my side for putting in the work, it's a great program!

Also for me, this message is not useful in any way. A "Don't show again" option as suggested by @GeneralMidiRotkiv would do just fine.
Besides, LogExpert is a great an very helpful tool. Thanks for that!

In my mind "Don't show again" approach is sub optimal too.
Using UI principals it would be OK to offer the popup warning/info, but only once so the popup should have button that has text like "OK, I understand".
After clicking that no popups will be shown as long as the "Only one instance" setting has not been altered by the user.

It is fixed, but currently the Settings-Dialog does not import the Settings when it is opened, only when Logexpert is started, this needs to be taken into account, so the "option" to "not show the error message" has currently a wrong state in the settings dialog.

This is new in 1.9.0
With previous version, running "Logexpert myfile" would open it in a new tab. That was nice.
Waiting for a new binary release if it was fixed.

Thanks

We would also appreciate a new release since the issue seems to be fixed...

@Hirogen is this issue solved in the .net 8 version? If yes, can it be closed?

Sorry, but I could not proof this. The first call from cmd-shell works fine, but every further call gives me a

But the first impression of the new interface is very promessing!

[Hirogen]

yeah the problem is, that the grpc is not completely implemented yet and currently works as a band-aid

FYI: Still the same error in Release 1.11.0 .net 8
