Ipfs-desktop: Provide a friendlier message if another daemon is already running on startup

Created on 5 Dec 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop

I often have an IPFS daemon running to interface with other IPFS tools. When launching station, I receive an alert that an instance of the daemon is already running but the message contains the text that one would normally expect on the command-line and not a message typically displayed from a GUI app.

Replicate:

  1. Start an IPFS daemon on the system
  2. npm start from the root of the station working directory

Station 5bd8846a007f9655a451072c23008b162168dd8a
macOS 10.13.1

What about this:

:+1: That would be a good initial step.

Also, havea->have a 馃槃

Just updated the image ^^

Much more succinct and to the point.

Is there any plan on eventually allowing the user to use their pre-existing IPFS installation?

I was thinking about the same thing when fixing this issue, I'll create another issue about that.
