this is stated as an added feature in Rev 2.7.3

"Application instancing lets developers control whether multiple or single instances of Revolution-based applications can run on Windows."

what are the functions/commands associated with this? how are they used?

I cant seem to find anything on this in Docs???


UPDATE: Never Mind I just found it. Relaunch handler.

Whilst reading this post, I thought of a really handy command when dealing with document based applications.

Rather than instance the whole application, you could use the clone command to clone a template document stack. Rev just holds it in memory, allowing the user to interact with it.

Note that under this method, any variables that would be held specific to a document are best kept as properties of the cloned window.
