frequent crashes, feature request: open windows as separate instances (processes)

[osmand]

as others have mentioned when working on copying files from one drive to another I get crashes, I think it happens when working on the main fs as well

In windows there is an option of opening each explorer window as separate instance, this prevents one crash from crashing all explorer windows

*when this happens in nemo even if one window crashes it brings down all other windows even irrelevant ones

and you cant even open a new nemo instance while one is crashed (*before force quit).

this is very much relevant to my previous feature request #1905

When it crashes it just keeps asking the same questions do I want to merge or not, just checking the files would be faster

doesnt the file systems in linux already have file checksums stored in the file systems? so it wont have to do a md5 on large files if that is what you are worried about?

just check the checksums plus compare a few bytes of the files in random places if that is the case. +the file size + file name as optional

if they are the same file dont ask if I want to replace them!
