Yes, I tried that. Using that method you can only open one additional document
of the same name. I work with huge displays where there may need to be several
copies of the same document on the display at the same time. That's why I have
requested this feature. I also launch libreoffice through a program I wrote
automatically so that's why I requested a command line switch. In the interim,
I've written a wrapper program which creates read only clones of the document
and allows you to open as many copies of a document as you like. But if this
feature were to be built in, that would be awesome. If anyone wants to see my
wrapper code written in C#, let me know. I understand this feature is rather
niche, but I thought I'd request it anyway.
