SCITE EDITOR OPEN NEW TABS OR NEW WINDOW

[edubensa]

Hi! Can someone help me with this? I upgraded from SciTe Edit Lite to full version. Now every time I edit a script it opens on a new SciTe tab, but I want it opens on a new window like before the upgrade. Can someone help me with that? Thanks!!

In the SciTE main menu:

1. Click on "Options - > Open User Options File"
2. In the newly opened SciTEUser.properties file, add (or modify) the following line BELOW the "DO NOT CHANGE" section:
   • check.if.already.open=0
3.  Save your change.

When you open new .au3 files, from outside the editor, they should now open in a new window.

What is the "DO NOT CHANGE" section?

I've tried adding check.if.already.open=0 at the end but it didn't work. Here is mi SciTEUser.properties:

This is the property you need to add to SciTE when you do not want to restore the previous session's files:

#restore last session when selecting Open file from Explorer -  Only available in SciTE4AutoIt3 version
save.session.advanced=0

The check.if.alredy.open=0 will run multiple SciTE instances, one per file.

That last section is maintained by SciTECOnfig.au3, so hence that statement, but you can make changes when leaving the format intact.

Just added save.session.advanced=0 to the SciTEUser.properties but nothing happens. Am I the only one who wants the files open in a new window? Because I didn't find any discussion about that or may be I am not doing the correct research 😏

I will try to reinstall both autoit and scite and see if the default set open windows instead of tabs.

Now it works!!!

I've reinstalled Autoit, SciTe Editor and deleted the old files, but it opens the files on new tabs again. But now my SciTEUser.properties file is clean.

I added the line check.if.already.open=0 to the SciTEUser.properties and it works!!

Thanks everybody!!
