[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Open file in geany in current desktop? (#1025)

[Brian White]

One thing that drives me crazy is how when I have files associated with Geany, if I double click on them to open them, it will open the file in another Geany instance on *another* desktop instead of on the *current* desktop. This was one thing I took for granted when I was using gedit.

I have searched and found someone that suggested somehow using a unix socket file that is named based on the current desktop number, but I have not been successful in doing so. In fact, their solution seemed to lead to some loop that would keep spawning new Geany processes, bringing the OS to a near halt.

Can something like this be *baked in* to Geany so that no special setup or configuration is necessary? If there is a good reason not to, is there an official solution to this somewhere (that works)?
