How to run multiple images?

Hi Guys,I'm on a mac apple silicon with Pharo 10, I've a couple of problems
First: it is not possible anymore to drag and drop the image file on the VM (pharo.app), it was very comfortable.
Second: If I open the pharo.app and choose an image that becomes the only running image, I can't launch the pharo.app to run another image in parallel
Are these 2 issues solvable, please? Any hint?
TIA

I am in the same boat.

I have been using the pharo launcher for a few years, and it lets you do all of these things with no fuss..

Thanks both Sergio and Noury,
I'm not a big fan of the pharo launcher, but I'll give it a chance.
Anyway I found that the problem to run multiple VMs is a constraint of macos, see https://www.totalphase.com/support/articles/200349376-multiple-application-instances-on-mac-os-x/  so if you want to run a couple of pharo.apps you should run them via terminal: open -n "/mypath pharo.app"

Cheers

Yes, I would like to have drag-n-drop support, too. Or more specifically: double click of the image
in the Finder opens that image.

(I am on the mac)

I did use it a lot when it worked, but talking to people it seemed that it was not used a lot bu others.

I think the reason was that was quite cumbersome, as it only worked for real if you had just one VM associated with the .image extension in the Finder.

As soon as you need different vms, this stops to be practical, and the Finder even gets confused which vm to use and it is a mess.

A real solution would be to have the Launcher be in charge and start the image with the correct VM, this is something I have on my endless TODO to look at to see how hard this would be to support.
