Save and start two (ands more) instances

VAVoices

Hello. I want to know if it is possible to save and open several NPP++ windows with tabs when restarting.

In details -
I have a two monitor: 2k (2560x1440) and small FullHD (1920x1080). I can stretch one npp to two monitors and separate tabs to two side, but due to resolution and the difference in size - FullHD monitor cannot show the window correctly

NPP ++ supports start several windows at once, but when restarting only one opens, which was openly last.

Unfortunately, i could not find solutions. Perhaps i missed something. I hope you can help me.

Cheers.

You could use “sessions” but it may not have the “ease of use” that you are thinking of for your situation. You’d have to experiment.

Some command line arguments to investigate would be -openSession and -multiInst. For detailed information, consult the online user MANUAL.

Perhaps also the SessionManager plugin could be helpful (I only know about it, haven’t used it myself).

You may want this setting selected:

Good luck.

I think you are absolutely right. I already looked at the “sessions”, but did not notice the settings, which automatically retains change in session during restart. And also open each session in a new instance. One minus - with each restart, you will need to open every session, but i think it is suitable for me, it solves problem with my different size monitors.

Thanks for you help.
