How do I make "libreoffice" command open a new window if another Libreoffice window exists somewhere?

Hi,

I have multiple virtual desktops, and I might have multiple documents opened (or not) on different virtual desktops. How do I make “libreoffice” command always open a new window for me? Current behaviour is: if another libreoffice window is present somewhere, running “libreoffice” just silently aborts, and nothing happens.

I tried some command line parameters, like --base, --global, --nolockcheck, --quickstart=no, but nothing worked.

Expected behaviour: When running “libreoffice” a new window always appears.

Thank you!

try --writer

(by the way, --base should also work - creating a new Base document by starting respective wizard)

Related: tdf#77590. The problem is, that it’s impossible to have start center when you have some module loaded.

Thank you. --writer or --calc works. --base does not.

–base does not

You didn’t mention your OS; possibly you are on e.g. Ubuntu, which has a bad habit of not installing Base.
