Control multiple program instances - open multiple files problem
Hello. This shouldn't be an unusual problem, but I cannot find anything about it at google or at other search machine.
So, I've made an application using C++ and QtCreator. I 've made a new mime type for application's project files.
My system (ubuntu 10.10), when I right click a file and I choose "Open With 'Default Application'" the it runs
Code:
default_application path/to/the/selected/file1
So, if you select multiple files and select "Open With 'Default Application'" the system will call
So, this is a big problem for me, because I handle the concurrent processes from inside the program, so when another instance of the program is running, a warning message is appeared. So, each application's call will recognize the others as currently running applications and so it'll show the message. I'll end up with 3 Messages saying that another process of the program is running --_--'
My application handles multiple URLs this way:
How can I make my code handle all these multiple instances at the same time? Everything I've tried fails, because everything I've tried requires a check from the first instance called, which is too slow and other instances come app and all together are warning about concurrent processes of the same program
So, how can I fix this? is it system depended, or can I do something with the code?

mimeopen
MIMEOPEN(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation MIMEOPEN(1p)NAME
mimeopen - Open files by mimetype
SYNOPSIS
mimeopen [options] [-] files
DESCRIPTION
This script tries to determine the mimetype of a file and open it with the default desktop application. If no default application is
configured the user is prompted with an "open with" menu in the terminal.
To use this script you need the freedestop mime-info database and the freedesktop desktop-file-utils package. See
File::MimeInfo::Applications(3) for more details.
OPTIONS -a, --ask
Do not execute the default application but ask which application to run. This does not change the default application.
-d, --ask-default
Let the user choose a new default program for given files.
-n, --no-ask
Don't ask the user which program to use. Choose the default program or the first program known to handle the file mimetype. This does
not set the default application.
-M, --magic-only
Do not check for extensions, globs or inode type, only look at the content of the file. This is particularly useful if for some reason
you don't trust the name or the extension a file has.
--database=mimedir:mimedir:...
Force the program to look in these directories for the shared mime-info database. The directories specified by the basedir
specification are ignored.
-D, --debug
Print debug information about how the mimetype was determined.
-h, --help
-u, --usage
Print a help message and exits.
-v, --version
Print the version of the program and exit.
DEPRECATED OPTIONS -L, --dereference
Follow symbolic links. Deprecated because this is the logical default for this command. Ignored silently.
