Hi,
I do not want multiple instances to run so I configured that.
That's working like it should.
However...I DO want multiple instances to run when I open a Workspace so I can have several workspaces open at a time. Can that be done or is that impossible or a enhancement request ?

look for command line options in the textpad help
-m ('multiple') forces a new instance even when you've chosen NOT to have multiples in the configuration

maybe you can insert that (-m) in explorer for the *.tws fileextension

what I usually do:
- unselect 'allow multiple instances' (or what it is called) in configuration
- add an -m in the Win shortcut for textpad
(e.g C:\Program Files\Textpad -m)

=>
doubleclicking a file in explorer opens it in the last active textpad window
doubleclicking the shortcut opens a new instance, from which I open the workspace

Thanx. That solved my problem
