Bug Description
First time reporting a bug, so please let me know if I'm missing anything. =)
This report is an expansion of comment #6 on this page: https:/
When "CurrentWorkspa
My proposal is this: in the case of pinned applications, launched instances on workspaces other than the current one should be ignored, and clicking said pinned item should launch a new instance (or try to, if said app prevents multiple instances).
For comparsion, this exact feature was available in Plank's predecessor, Docky, albeit hidden in the recesses of the Gconf settings (Gconf--> docky-2 | Docky | Items | WnckDockItem | CurrentDesktopO
This might seem trivial, but is a crucial feature for users (like myself) who compartmentalize their jobs into separate Workspaces to manage their workflow more efficiently.

Yes! I'd love to see this implemented. Just like Raphael I try to compartmentalize my workflow, having different workspaces for different tasks and way too often I find myself switching back and forth between workspaces when I only wanted to focus another instance of the application on the same desktop.
For me personally this is the only major problem that detracts from an otherwise perfect lightweight dock.
