Product Description:

This small application will allow you to drag and drop an application icon onto it, to start an instance of that application. If the application is already running, then it will start another instance. It works on Carbon and Cocoa applications.

Application icons can be dropped directly onto the MultiApp icon in the Finder or in the Dock. To drag dock tiles/icons onto the MultiApp icon, you will need to hold option-apple while dragging. If anyone knows a way to avoid the need for the option-apple override, then please let me know.

This is a feature that apple have worked hard to remove from OS X. I do not know why. So I wrote this small program to do it. If anyone knows hows to intercept the actual system or window server call, then please let me know.

available in the jar archive if you drill down to it from the application. The implementation is not very clean.. but it is effective. I have uploaded a new version with the source code clearly visible. Sorry about that.
