Parallel desktop instances now carry their instance name in the macOS…#313
Merged
Conversation
…(#2172) Multiple desktop instances launched in parallel were hard to tell apart: same icon, same name, with only the (hidden) project differing. Each instance now shows its name in the macOS menu-bar app name, e.g. "OpenKnowledge (work)", and in editor window titles. The label is derived from the launch's per-instance userData directory, set by the parallel-instance launcher (--user-data-dir ~/.ok/instances/<name>) or dev OK_INSTANCE, so no new launch flags are needed and the default install is unaffected. The pure resolver (instance-identity.ts) is unit-tested; it is applied at boot via app.setName plus a window-manager title suffix. GitOrigin-RevId: a0574593abf04a7a36515395263b384d4af5dfc9

Parallel desktop instances now carry their instance name in the macOS menu-bar app name (
OpenKnowledge (work)) and editor window titles, so multiple instances running side by side are distinguishable. The label is derived from the launch's per-instanceuserDatadirectory — set by the parallel-instance launcher (--user-data-dir ~/.ok/instances/<name>) or devOK_INSTANCE— so it requires no extra flags and is a no-op for the default install.
