An option to keep the launcher open whilst playing?

[ornithologistnightmare]

I was playing around with the Forge prerelease, when I decided to update some of my instances - when I realised that I had already opened another instance. The launcher closed and the console popped up.

I had to open another window, but I felt that if I used all of the features, I'd get an error.

What I would like to see is an option that keeps the original window open, as well as saying which instances are open and storing changes made to them for next time (i.e. when an instance closes, any changes made are saved).

Thanks.

Also, a creation date for instances (and sorting by it) might not be a bad idea.
It could be displayed under the rename button on the right hand side bar.

All good ideas!

• Ability to edit and run multiple instances is planned.
• If it runs, you won't be able to make any changes to it. While that would be cool, I don't see that as essential, and I don't have the resources to do it in any sane timeframe. Will keep the idea around though :)
• Date added/created for mods and instances... should be already part of the properties of the files and folders. This is easy to do.

I'd suggest splitting the issue into parts though.

Edited the issue and made a new one for the ""date added" list" idea (link above)

Alright :)

Moved to workflowy (Ideas -> Running multiple instances)

This is a big one... and also needed if we want to add server support.

Done.
