[Inkscape-devel] bug: Inkscape opens files in a new instance, the first instance leaves itself useless

Hello everybody!

Sorry, sourceforge gives me "forum not found" when I try to go to "inkscape-tracker" list. I know this happens sometimes, but here's a little bug anyway.

When you launch Inkscape, and, right away, use the "file->open" dialogue to open an existing SVG file, Inkscape opens another instance of itself and shows this file in there. This makes the first instance useless, you can't use it to open a file in it (you can use it to start drawing a new one).

So, instead of opening a new window, Inkscape should open the given SVG in it's very first instance.

Apologees if this has already been fixed.

Artemio, the happy Inkspace user.
