force new AkelPad instance in MDI mode

Post by FrizzleFry »

Is there a way to force AkelPad to open a new instance when it is executed using MDI mode?

It isn't so much MDI mode, but the "Don't open a program twice" option (Options menu). If that option is unchecked, AkelPad should open a new instance from a shortcut, etc. rather than a new tab. The "New window" (File menu) will do the same thing.

Well that was simple :)

I had noticed the "Don't open a program twice" option but it had not clicked that "a program" referred to AkelPad itself.

Is the ForceNewInstance.js script used with the script plugin?

I just started playing around with plugins and I had not investigated the script plugin yet... but I will check it out.
