Currently you can only run one copy of RD Tabs at a time. I use multiple monitors and it would be useful to me if you could allow more than 1 copy of the program to run at a time (one for each screen in my case).

This behavior is by design, but there is a very effective workaround that I think is superior to concurrent copies of RD Tabs running.

Go to the "Connection" menu and select "New (Detached) Floating Tab Panel." This will open a new window (tab panel) with its own ability to be maximized/fullscreened/whatever, and can contain any number of tabs and tab panes, just like the main RD Tabs window. In your case you can drag this window to the other monitor and have RD Tabs running on both monitors.

The advantage of being the same app is that you can drag tabs from one tab pane to another in ANY tab panel. So if you decide you want one desktop on the left monitor rather than the right, you just drag it over -- no need to disconnect/reconnect!

In addition, the favorites menus in every tab panel window stay in sync too. :-)
