Running two instances of XDP9X

**Big Frank** · 19 September 2013, 10:56 AM

I have XDP9X open with a XAR file I'm working on.
I remember something from another project that needs updating.
I find the XAR file and I double-click it.
I now have two independent instances of XDP9X (x64) running

I'm not reporting a problem, it doesn't bug me in the slightest, but it's just a little odd the file didn't open in the already-open instance of Xara.

Stuff like that is what keeps life interesting...

Edit : and it's called X9, not 9X, doh!

It's called 9X if you double-click nine files..

If you double-click a file called "castlemaine" four times, you'll start to feel tipsy..

This works with most applications actually. Except with Xara that opens to the last file or files you had open, I wonder what file it would open to? One or both?

Habitually, Xara always opens up files in the same instance so that I have multiple tabs open in one instance of Xara, not multiple instances of Xara.
