Opening Roblox Studio through the .desktop entry should always open a new Studio window.

Before Creating the Enhancement Request

• I have confirmed that this should be classified as an enhancement rather than a bug/feature.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

If Roblox Studio is already running, when you try to open another Roblox Studio window by clicking on the icon inside of the applications menu, Vinegar errors out with a return code 1, because it tries to create another wineserver process, but a wineserver process with ESYNC is already running.

Even if it wouldn't error out because of ESYNC, it would be quite a waste of resources to run multiple wineserver processes for separate Studio windows (if even possible under the same wineprefix, that is)

The correct way to open another Studio window on Windows is to open it through the start menu/app list.

Describe the Solution you'd Like

Make Vinegar open RobloxStudioBeta.exe under the wineserver that is already running. Perhaps by checking if a Vinegar process with Studio is already running and, if it is, it would signal to the already running process to just run a new Studio process.

Describe Alternatives you've considered

A workaround is to go to File > New, wait for Studio to load a baseplate in the newly created window, and then exit out of the baseplate to get to the start page. This, however, harms productivity because it takes way longer than just clicking on Studio and then having it open the start page.

Additional context

No response

[apprehensions]

Roblox studio itself has multi-instance capabilities, where a new instance calls to the first instance to run a new window. Can you confirm this by using vinegar studio ... under flatpak run --command=bash ...?

[BakonBot]

Running flatpak run --command=bash org.vinegarhq.Vinegar and then vinegar studio run under it returns the same error when clicking on Studio while a Studio process is already running
0338:err:esync:esync_init Failed to open esync shared memory file; make sure no stale wineserver instances are running without WINEESYNC.

[apprehensions]

Kill all Vinegar instances, and instantiate the shell; Do vinegar run ... & to run in the background, and do another after the window instantiates.

[BakonBot]

That does work. A new Studio window opens with no issues.

[apprehensions]

This will indeed require Vinegar IPC.
