Shortcut does not run but just shows current running executables

Ignores Advanced tweak and unique exe arguments

I have ObjectDock 2.20.0.862 (latest)

I have a number of shortcuts that use the same executable but all are different programs as examples below:

 

Run the Progress procedure editor:

-----------------------------------

Link: C:\V11.4\bin\prowin32.exe

Arguments: -basekey "INI" -ininame c:\corp\_run\progress.ini -pf c:\corp\_run\store.pf

 

Run the Corporate Controller program:

---------------------------------------

Link: C:\V11.4\bin\prowin32.exe

Arguments: -basekey "INI" -ininame c:\corp\_run\progress.ini -pf c:\corp\_run\store.pf -p cc.p

 

Run the Data polling process:

------------------------------

Link: C:\V11.4\bin\prowin32.exe

Arguments: -basekey "INI" -ininame c:\corp\_run\progress.ini -pf c:\corp\_run\store.pf -p supp/conf-dopoll.p

 

And I have many more programs (dock items) like these that run different programs;

But once I have four different ones running I can't just click a dock entry to start another;

It just shows me the ones I already have open as if they are all the same program (prowin32.exe) but they aren't!

Prowin32.exe is just the run time interpreter for the compiled programs (Program is the '-p' argument in the above, no -p starts the editor)

It wont let me put the arguments on the Link line so I cant get around it that way.

I often have 5 to 8 prowin32 different programs running at the same time when developing.

Sometimes I even want 5 or more editors open concurrently but not often enough that this would be an issue.

 

Is there some way to get this fixed?

I have the [Advanced Tweaks] setting "[  ] When shortcut is run, if program is already running bring it to the foreground only." Un-ticked.

 

Thanks,

Ian Powell
