Hello therapon,

glad that you could help yourself. Just if anyone stumbles upon this in
the future: An unique instance is currently nothing but a distinct value
in the column "instanceName" of the "tabs_v5" database table that is
part of qpdfview's database usually located at
"~/.local/share/qpdfview/qpdfview/database". (The table is used to
(re)store the opened tabs of any given qpdfview session, i.e. a unique
instance is just a set of open tabs.)

So the query the instance, use for example "SELECT DISTINCT instanceName
FROM tabs_v5;" whereas "UPDATE tabs_v5 SET instanceName='foo' WHERE
instanceName='bar'" would rename instance "bar" into "foo".

Best regards,
Adam
