Run Same App Twice Macro
Run Same App Twice Mac Ios

IPadOS brings big advantages for iPad multitasking. I love having these multiple versions of apps. Not only is it handy to be able to have two windows of the same app open together, just like on. Your Mac will run faster on startup since it won’t be frantically opening multiple apps at once. It will also give you a clean working space to start your day and prevent a sudden barrage of new windows, especially since you may not need all of them.

How to open multiple instances of an application in OS X. By default the Mac OS supports running one instance of a program at a time in a specific user account; however, if more than one instance.
If its the same software it shouldn't. If it a new release, its possible that both will be availabe, so there will be more space used. But it shouldn't be double, as they will be able to share common executables. If its and upgrade fix then it should replace all files that are updated. It will only take more space if it add a lot of functionality.
Launch & Run Multiple Instances of Any Application in Mac OS X. Very few Mac users need to run two instances of the same app, most would just open a new window or file in the same app, so it should not be surprising that to run concurrent.app packages it is more complex than clicking a dock icon.

This allows users to use more than one VLC player at a time. Once you've done the above you should be able to play as many VLC instances and video or audio files as you like.

macOS

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, allowing you to simply click on the files to launch the files in a new standalone VLC session.

Paste the code below into a new AppleScript Editor script and save it as an application.

File Association with the Droplet/App can be done as follows:

OpenFinder and find the video file of interest
Right click on the file (assumes you have right click enabled)
Choose Get Info
Under Open with:, click dropdown and select the VLC droplet/app
ClickChange All button
If prompted 'are you sure', select 'Yes'.
