Allow Task Coach to open multiple .tsk files simultaneously
This is a duplicate request, see:

I edited the request because the real issue is that the user wants to work with multiple .tsk files at the same time.
The original statement:
"By default TaskCoach opens last used file. But when I run another instance (to edit other file), it tries to open the same last used file (and suggests me to break the lock). If the user has to work with two or three files simultaneously, it would be perfect for him if upcoming instances will open consequent files on "recently used" list (and that would be simple to implement). Thanks! "The locking problem will be resolved when the multi-user feature is implemented. Regardless of that, opening multiple Task Coach instances and having each one manually open a different .tsk file is indeed a workaround. That workaround will be faster without the lock issue, but it will still be a workaround.

@Aaron: agreed, a far better solution would be to be able to open multiple task files in Task Coach.

I am not an expert, but I think that making the program recognize how many other instances are already running is harder than programming internal things. And anyway, what if you open the first and second, but then decide to close the first one? What happens then?
I think a better solution for this request is just to allow Task Coach to handle opening multiple .tsk files at the same time, in one instance of the TC program.
