[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Opening an xml downloaded from internet opens new instance of Geany (#1619)

[Colomban Wendling]

What about having Geany not open a new instance when it's called with no files under OSX, but just do as if files were passed (but none are), so activating the main window and stuff?  The "open new instance" would use `-i` anyway, so no problem there.
The Geany behavior with no arguments is not very common I think, many programs just activate their window, trying to raise it -- or like GEdit open a new untitled file in the existing window.

Would that solve the issue and the running Geany instance would get the callback, or would it just be lost?
