Problem Statement
Kindly please consider allowing for multiple Claude Desktop windows.
Plenty of us love to just middle-click on the taskbar/dock icon and start a new window.
Proposed Solution
Allow multiple simultaneous windows.
Alternative Solutions
I know the workaround is to just use a PWA, but that doesn't have access to local files and also it's not very stable.
Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
Feature Category
File operations
Use Case Example
Literally anything that involves working with local files or locally hosted MCPs that aren't available outside the network.
