Let your Mac do repetitive tasks for you. If you need to make the same changes to multiple files—such as changing filenames or resizing images—or archive or back up important files, you can create a custom workflow and have your Mac do the work for you. On the Mac, running multiple instances of VLC is not supported out of the box. As a workaround, you can create a Droplet/App that does the following: launch the VLC droplet/app to get a separate instance of VLC, drop one or more files onto VLC droplet/app, or; associate your.mov,.avi, and other files directly with the VLC droplet/app. With the use of Terminal, anyone can run multiple instances of the same application on a Mac. When you have multiple windows open in a web browser, the windows are all running under the same Process ID (PID). But, with multiple instances, each has its own unique PID. So why would you want to run multiple instances of the same app? There are several reasons a person may run clones of the same.
Hello,
If you want multiple browser windows open at the same time (such as in Safari), then you go to the browsers file menu and choose 'New Window'
If you have tabbed browsing enabled, then you can choose 'New Tab' from the same menu, and then just create a second, third, etc. Tab to view web pages in.
You can enabled Tabbed Browsing in Safari by going to the Safari Menu, then Preferences, then the 'Tabs' tab. Then, enable Tabbed browsing (set the other tab preferences as you like).
I hope this helps.
