Hello,

I have noticed that there is no clean way to have multiple instances of the Gnucash app running, using different set of accounts. I just migrated to mac from linux and using the following command only seems to open the last used file:

open -na Gnucash.app file-to-open

Where -n => open new even if already open
             a the app to open followed by the file to open

Does anyone know of a way to open multiple instances of Gnucash in Mac OS X, like you can in Linux. I basically created an icon in KDE for each instance passing it the file, and I was certain that the OS X open command would do the same.

Thanks,
JR
