Description

I want to open a second fman window in macos. For Chrome I can just right click the icon in the dock and select "New window". Right clicking on fman does not show that menu item. I also searched the command but found nothing that will open a new window. I can however typ fman . in the terminal and that will open a second instance of fman with a new window. I guess this should be easy and I feel a bit stupid for not finding a way to do it :-). But I see that fman have no "Window" menu like other apps on mac so perhaps there is no multi-window support yet?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the macOS behavior described: right-click fman in the Dock, inspect the available commands, and compare it with launching fman . in a terminal. Trace the existing application-launch path and determine how a second window or instance is handled. Done means macOS users can open a second fman window through the expected Dock or application command.
