New file tab not being created

[Mark Wilson76]

Running v6.9.2. Double-clicking a text file in Windows File Explorer over-writes the current file tab instead of opening a new tab. Cannot see a way to change that in settings. Re-load?

Thanks,

Assuming that it is the same file you try to load again - this doesn’t work.
Per npp instance you can only open the same file once.
What you could do is to open another npp instance (settings->preferences->multi instance).

Claudia,

That fixed it - Set Multi-Instance to “Always in Multi-Instance Mode”

Many Thanks
