pcmanfm only one file explorer opens

Hi,

I just updated pcmanfm, and I can't open more than one window. If I try to open another window the first one closes and nothing starts.  If I have a window open and click on File -> New Window. Then I get a second one.  I tried opening pcmanfm from two seperate terminals, I don't get any output so I can't really figure out what's happening.  Anyone have an idea why?

Re: pcmanfm only one file explorer opens

I just installed pcmanfm 0.9.8 from the repo and I can open multiple windows just fine.

Re: pcmanfm only one file explorer opens

I think this version of pcmanfm is in bit of a transition phase.  I'm having some problems with other partitions, drives not being recognized, though not a problem with more than one instance.  You can try pcmanfm-git and possibly it may be better.

I just upgraded to the git version, same problem.  Very wierd.  I don't really know how to troubleshoot this, because I can't get any output in the terminal. Or better said I don't know how to get any output.

Re: pcmanfm only one file explorer opens

On my machine, attempting to open the second pcmanfm instance results in the following crash being logged

pcmanfm[23675]: segfault at 2c ip 00007f251eecdd44 sp 00007fff2e5b99c0 error 6 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2600.0[7f251ee8c000+e6000]

I just use the option File > New window until the bug is fixed.

Ok, until this gets fixed I'm gonna stick to an older version of pcmanfm.  Luckily I had an older version in my /var/pacman/pkg  I just installed the older version of pcmanfm and the older version of libfm and things work fine again smile

Maybe it's libfm. Try out libfm-git.
