<p>I'm trying to work on multiple projects at the same time, and currently Geany makes this a little difficult.</p>
<p>If I specify the project file in the Geany call, e.g.</p>
<pre><code>geany myproject.geany &
</code></pre>
<p>Geany will re-use the running process and force me to close the current project before loading the new one.</p>
<p>If I launch a blank geany process:</p>
<pre><code>geany &
</code></pre>
<p>then I can run an arbitrary number of Geany instances, but I have to manually load the project via the Project->Open dialog.</p>
<p>Can you please remove the check to re-use the current running Geany instance, and close the current project? I can't imagine why anyone would want or need that, since a single Geany instance can't handle more than a single project at once.</p>
