Question for Linux & Mac users

At this time, I am only running Windows. Do the Linux and Mac versions have single-instance implemented in the IDE? In Win, if I double-click on a PB file, it opens that file in the PB IDE, and uses the existing instance of the program if the IDE was already open. Does it work the same way with Linux and Mac?

Fred, would you mind sharing how you pass that file name to the original instance? Are the platforms the same?

Thanks

Hi,

I can only speak for the Linux version.

I'm running 4.60 64bit on Mint 10 and if I double click on a pb file in Thunar it open the pb IDE and then further files open in the same instance.

On mac it works like windows, on linux you have to register the extensions, see here:

On MacOS X you can only open one single instance of the IDE.
In Preferences/General the option "Run only one instance" is
greyed out and you can't select this option. But if you have the
IDE already open and double click on a PB source file in the
Finder, this file will be opened in the IDE.
