Hi Alexandre,
Actually, I'm working in both Windows & Linux and I'm just hacking around ;-).

Chuoi, I couldn't help myself but ask.
Since you seem to use windows a lot, I would like to ask if you have any experience in Windows C/C++ programming.
No problem with C/C++ programming here.
We could use a guy with such knowledge (especially knowledge about the DDE or DDEML functions in windows api) to allow the expected behavior of opening files in existing instances.
Unfortunately, I just know what it is, but never do it before.
If you have any knowledge about that and want to share it... i have not much (almost any) experience in windows programming and tried to find out on my own... no luck so far. :)
We can learn & work together ;-). Another approach that's using NamedPipe.
About named pipe, I've been studying to solve this problem, but then I found out we would only have NamedPipe available in newer versions of windows (no 9x/me support).. and I guess it would neither be good to have two builds for windows nor none to some branch of the windows family.
I'll try to do as you said, and check other open source text editors to check out... but windows code is rather messy to me, and I tend to get lost easy ... lol.

But I think we can learn and get some code from other projects like GVim for Windows.
Well, this post became too long and a little bit off topic. Just would like to add that this question is opened to every member of the list. I probably will find the time to implement it sooner or later, but would be glad if anyone with more information in windows programming than I could give me some hints on that :)
Cheers, Alexandre Moreira.
Cheers, MrChuoi
