Improve 'Instance running ' of Code::Blocks
« on: January 26, 2010, 11:28:39 pm »
When I click something.cpp I usually get the "Another program instance is already running" Dialog.  How about having the file opened in a new tab of that instance?  It would save some time...

Thank you for making this great tool free.

Sorry, just to clear that:  I meant double click the icon from windows explorer

"Settings -> Environment -> General settings" :
uncheck "Allow only one running instance ..."
check "Use an already running instance ..."
check "Bring it on top afterwards"

Thank you, Jens

If you would have some more patience with what could seem rediculously stupid.

Where?  :shock:

Too old version (8.02 ?), in a more recent version (nightly), you have these options.
It should work if you ignore it and uncheck "Allow only one running instance ..."  in your case.

Yes, 8.02

Thanks, I'll do that.
