Please make it so that, when run again, the trayed instance is brought up instead of "run again/quit" window. It would also be nice if, when run with SHIFT held, it would open a brand-new window from within same instance. Linux KDE "compact" tasklist, OSX dock, and Windows 7+ taskbar are "pinning" tasklists. Those described behaviors would make it integrate better when called by a "pin" icon. In short, bring up old window if run with just win+# (Win/Meta key + upper-row digits, not numpad digits), or open a new window (from same instance) if called through shift+win+#. This is a feature relevant to professionals, so you could make this part of the shareware deal if you are inclined to.

"run again/quit" window

Sorry, I have no idea what this is. Ripcord has no feature like that. Your Linux desktop environment must somehow be interfering with Ripcord.

Wait, maybe I misunderstood. Are you talking about trying to run Ripcord multiple times?

I'm not going to add a "Ripcord daemon" process that monitors for attempts to run the process multiple times. That's generally an invasive and weird behavior. Ripcord uses a lockfile to prevent multiple processes from stomping on the disk-cache if run with the same data/config directory, but otherwise, it's not going to try to prevent you from running it multiple times.
