    Description

      Especially dealing with qml projects you often have a very fast develop cycle:

      • Run app
      • Make a small change in .qml
      • Re-run app
      • Make another fix ...
      • ...

      Quite a few people now forget to 'stop' the app from the last run, resulting in various annoyances

      • You loose track which one is the last one started
      • On windows the debugging output is blocked
      • For Symbian the COM port is blocked
      • When debugging QML the default debug port is blocked
      • At the end you have to kill lots of running apps

      Easiest fix would be to have a 'Stop & Run' action with a keyboard shortcut . Or ask the user whether he really wants to have two instances of the same run configuration running in parallel / whether he wants to kill the old one.
