Open Brain from Toolbar in New Instance
The right half of PB toolbar is reserved for pinning icons of frequently accessed Brains. Clicking an icon closes the current Brain and replaces it with the selected Brain, i.e., opens it in the same instance of PB.
I would like the selected Brain's RH context menu to have an additional Open option named Open in New Instance, so that a new instance of PB is created and the selected Brain opened in that for temporary use. This might take a little longer to open but we can continue to work on our currently opened Brain while waiting. When we've finished with it, simply close that instance and the selected Brain with it, without disturbing our currently open Brain.
mbaas additionally suggested using Ctrl-clicking on Brain icon. I would like to see both context menu and his keyboard shortcut implemented.

Excellent suggestion! I always have 2 brains open, and it is tedious having to open the second brain up by running the PersonalBrain again from the Windows menu or desktop, and then selecting the second brain from the 'Welcome to Personal Brain' screen.
