Opening a new copy of an application on Mac

Mac doesn’t like you to open multiple copies of an application. If you try to open a new copy, it will switch to the old copy. If you want to open a new copy this is what you need to do:

Fire up the terminal and type:

$ open -n /Applications/<name of application>.app

Saw that little -n switch? That’s the one which tells Mac to open a new copy.
