Description aRnim Jenett 2008-06-23 19:29:36 CDT
is the maximum number of Fiji-instances limited to two? what ever I do, i can not start more then two instances of Fiji. one via doubleclick and one via terminal. i changed Info.plist 
		<key>allowMultiple</key>
		<string>true</string>
which allows me to start two fijis - before it really is just one.
if I start the second instance of fiji it opens and I get this error in the console:
2008-06-23 13:16:42.095 fiji-macosx[1537] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x15903, name = 'org.fiji.ServiceProvider'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.
2008-06-23 13:16:42.095 fiji-macosx[1537] CFLog (99): CFMessagePortCreateLocal(): failed to name Mach port (org.fiji.ServiceProvider)
is there something blocked by the previous and therefor not usable by the next instance?

We tested this again, and the allowMultiple variable actually works as expected.  Further, we changed the default port to "-port7", so that Fiji does not interfer with ImageJ (if both were started with their respective default ports).
