(Get the code!)
After using the luna daily builds for quite a while, there's a thing I run into at least a few times everyday: the way plank handles running applications, when using multiple workspaces.
At it's current state when you click on a running app that's not open in your current workspace, plank instantly jumps you to the open window. In some applications that require one instance running (i.e.: Noise, USC, Switchboard, etc...) it's fine, but as for web and or file browsing this behaviour reduces productivity by quite a bit.
Take an example:
When I use my notebook, I usually have at least three workspaces open one for work one for web browsing and another for music, youtube, etc.
All three have at least one browser window and one file manager window open. To achive this with the current settings i have to open three browser windows in the first workspace then individualy move them to their respected workspaces.
Anytime I want to open a new browser or file manager window I have to go through the same process.
Suggestion:
Have a list of apps (including web browsers, file managers, maybe others) that behave differently by not jumping to the last opened window, but runing a new instance when clicked on at another workspace.
