      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).

        Cheers

          Claudia,

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

          Many Thanks
