That is REALLY good news!!! That dialog was really annoying (at least to me).

just out of curiosity, though: is it at all possible to have two
instances running and have new files being opened in the most recent
one ? (much like Firefox's behavior of "open in the most recent
window")

I really think it won't be possible, and it should not be a big deal
anyways. Just wanted to be sure, as I can't test it right now and I'm
anxious, lol.
