Memsource users will now be able to run multiple instances of the Desktop Editor at the same time. Previously, it was only possible to run the Desktop Editor in a single process, so when you downloaded and opened another MXLIFF file, this ended the previous open instance of the Desktop Editor.
Running multiple instances of the Desktop Editor is useful for the following reasons:
- When working on a job in one language combination, you might need to look at the same job in a different language combination
- You might want to compare multiple MXLIFF files at once
- If you have multiple Memsource accounts, you might want to run multiple instances at the same time.
Users will be asked to log in to each instance of the Desktop Editor, but the last login credentials entered are saved and will automatically appear in the login fields of the new instance of the Desktop Editor.
Running multiple instances of jobs is already possible in the Memsource Web Editor, using different browser windows.
