Cannot start Qutecom twice on two Windows (Vista) logons

[neo]

Hi folks,
just had the following situation:

I installed Qutecom on my laptop. I log on to my own Windows account and it starts normally. After a while working on something my mother wants to check something quickly where she logged into her own Windows account (without logging me off, so both were simultaneously logged on) and on both accounts Qutecom is configured. The OS is Vista Business.

The Problem now is: Qutecom won't start on the second Windows logon if concurrently it's already started in another Windows account.

I think Qutecom has a mechanism that prevents it from starting twice which is useful but the detection whether it's already started seems to go over account borders which it shouldn't do.

Thanks for looking at that!

Maybe it is issue of port availablity

Port? Why? It's not about the port, it simply doesn't start because it's already started in another logon. It's actually simple to reproduce, I hope one of the developers has a Windows machine, otherwise I would help, just tell me!

I'm not usre there is a lookup for another running instance of QuteCom...
Laurent do you have an idea what happens there?

[laurent]

According to qutecom-2.2/wengophone/src/model/config/commandlineparser.cpp
you must start qutecom with "-s" or "--several" argument

[neo]

Ok, I can do that, BUT: there is a setting in qutecom for starting it automatically when the computer starts. Don't you think this should include the case? Actually I don't really understand why you wouldn't want to start QuteCom "twice" if you are logged in as a different user. I mean, you don't know what the other user does. It should just work without trying commandline options.

Maybe we should modify install script to add -s to the command line in case of activation of RunOnStarup? option
