Description

Storage Explorer has the "New Window" feature but it has lots of problems today.

Related issues:

We need proper multi-window support where Storage Explorer application manages all the windows of itself and coordinate them using the shared main process. This would allow us to implement our own concurrency control to prevent race conditions and maybe allow it to work for snap since the application no longer need to have the permission to spawn new processes.
