SingleInstace Application "on new instance start" parameter callback

Hi,

for the first application instance its easy to retrieve the start params from Environment.CommandLine. But for a forced single instance Application a second start with different params is not given to the running instance.

For UWP this might be possible with the Application.deepLinkActivated Callback https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-deepLinkActivated.html but thats not working on Windows standard apps.

A workaround might be to have a second application which starts the unity application and in case of allready running it uses NamedPipes to pass the params to the instance.

I think it would be much easier for unity to implement a callback for that as they allready handle the force single instance... may be just use the deepLinkActivated callback even if it not a real deeplink.

So whom could I tell this to get it into your backlog ?

Greetings
Philipp

 

How?
