Tpad 5.2.0 won't open seperate instances from context menu

I've tried the technique in http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.ph ... +instances

I have textpad set to open seperate instances, yet when I open multiple files from the textpad choice in the right context menu, the files all get opened in the same textpad instance.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks

You can't 'fix' this. It's equivalent to starting textpad with a list of files as arguments - of course they will all go to the same instance - the instance instantiated by the single call to textpad.exe.

You must either open them one by one, or write a short .bat file to generate a file list and open each via a new call to textpad.exe -M (note -M switch).
