@eht16 so you think the problem is opening files at the same time, not the total number open as I thought? I guess it could be, the description is pretty bad.

Yes, I did and yes, the description leaves plenty room for interpretation :(.

In that case, is the problem something to do with how explorer opens multiple files? Does it execute a command for each file or one command with all the files passed to it, in which case is the issue one of command length?

I'm not totally sure but I think to remember that Explorer execute one command and pass all files at once. As said before, I can successfully open up to 15 files at once, the file paths were not too long but I guess even with long paths for 15 files it should still be OK.

Do you have MSYS2 installed on your system? Go to the home directory of MSYS2, select these files to open with Geany: .bash_history, .bash_logout, .bash_profile, .bashrc, and .profile. It will launch two instances of Geany.

@iahung3 it would be nice if you could answer my questions above, especially the contents of Help->Debug Messages are interesting.
