Is it possible to force Nautilus to start a new instance rather than open a new window in an existing session?



I'm trying to script some cool popup windows using nautilus --name=... and i3 config, but once I've opened one window, all following windows are opened in the same session and completely ignores any --name and --class arguments I pass.



Are there any options or environment variables I can set to force Nautilus to start a new process rather than open a new window in the existing process?



Basically I want to be able to create new windows with different X11 class and instance properties.

  • I'm using pcmanfm (default file browser in Lubuntu). Try if you can do what you want with pcmanfm (it can be installed from the repository universe with sudo apt install pcmanfm].
