I want to open 2 or more instances of MP3TAG on the same computer at the same time.

Any way to do that?  
When I try to open a 2nd copy, it just gives focus to the copy already running.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the actual version.

I found a workaround using 'Sandboxie'. But this is not that easy: [Sandboxie und mehrere Mp3tag gleichzeitig](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/11365/1)
