Running more than one Grok-Desktop instance #8

Would it be possible to allow running multiple separate instances of Grok-Desktop concurrently?

I understand GD needs to cache and save data to/from a user profile (in Appdata/Roaming), but GD-portable's data is sandboxed within %Temp%) yet still checks whether another GD instance is running, despite GD-installed vs. GD-portable's data kept separately.

Even if a CLI switch was needed to suppress the check, or alternatively, a switch to manually override profile/data folder location, e.g. GD.exe -portable -profile c:\gd4

Similar to web browsers, using incognito as a separate profile/session/cookies, or best of all, Firefox's container-tabs that can spawn separate profile/sessions in a per-tab basis.

However, even just being able to run a second concurrent instance of GD side-by-side would be great, particularly useful for comparing accounts/queries side-by-side but differing on LLM model or response branching, being able to visually juxtapose between the two instances.
