Open with multiple files selected.
"Open with" sometimes open only one instance of the text editor, sometimes opens more than one. I can find no pattern to it. If more than one instance is opened then the same files are not always opened in the same instances of the editor. Checked with five different text editors (all of which are multi-document capable). UltraEdit appears to be the worst, it opened four instances on one occasion when only six files were selected.

Re: Open with multiple files selected.
Yep, this was discussed already in connection with Catalog's OpenWith function. It depends on the application what happens. I currently call the application individually for each file to be opened. Some are single-instance, some are not.Gandolf wrote:"Open with" sometimes open only one instance of the text editor, sometimes opens more than one. I can find no pattern to it.

I will later add an OpenWith where I pass all files bundled to one instance of the app.

O.K. that sounds good.admin wrote:I will later add an OpenWith where I pass all files bundled to one instance of the app.
The point I was trying to make was that with the same set of files and the same text editor, selecting "open with" produces different results at different times. It was this inconsistency that puzzled me.
