[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Opening a new tab in an existing instance from shell (#1512)

[Matthew Brush]

If so, [this patch](https://gist.github.com/codebrainz/71d761e2cfd7e7519106ce4f731dd5ee) should work, but it doesn't since Geany ignores request to use existing socket file when no filenames are given, so it always opens a new instance. I have no idea where that code is, but something like this should work with the patch if it was fixed:

```bash
$ geany -u
# or
$ geany --socket-file=/what/ever -u
```
