Activate Open Instance

The flag controls how application shall behave when opening file form shell that is already open in one of the running instances.

If HippoEDIT runs in multi mode, and editor opened with single file, just check if the file is already opened in one of the instances:

• If yes, activate that instance and exit
• If no - continue with opening file

Having flag set to true (default), does activation for existing file. false - always open new instance. The setting only relevant if opening one file.

If you would like to change default behaviour you can do this by use of following XML flag, in hippoedit.config:

<ActivateOpenInstance>false</ActivateOpenInstance>

create the line if does not exist, and put value you want.
