           Summary: wish: add option to open/play media in existing
                    (running) dragonplayer instance
           Product: dragonplayer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: schatzb at gmail.com


Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I have Dragonplayer as the default application for media files. When I have an
existing instance of Dragonplayer running, opening a media file (from dolphin,
for example) causes a new instance of Dragonplayer to open and play the file.
This forces me to stop and close the previous instance. 

My suggestion is for Dragonplayer to detect if there is an existing instance
running already, and cause that instance to play the media file instead.
