[issue5817] Right-click behavior from Windows Explorer
New submission from Michael Kopinsky : When I right-click on a .py file in Windows Explorer and click Edit with IDLE, it currently opens a completely new instance of IDLE (with two windows, one for shell and one for editing the file). It would be better if it just opened the file as an additional window in the already running IDLE instance (assuming IDLE is already running). -- components: IDLE messages: 86346 nosy: Mkop severity: normal status: open title: Right-click behavior from Windows Explorer type: feature request ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5817> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Michael Kopinsky added the comment: The thing that bugged me when I created the ticket is that since IDLE uses two windows for every instance, that means that if you open three files, you'll have six windows open. I was bugged by constantly switching to the wrong window, etc. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5817> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Michael Kopinsky added the comment: I haven't really done any active Python development in a while. When I reported this back in April 2009 I was presumably using whatever was current then (2.6.x, I guess), but haven't tested it since. If you tell me that in newer versions it is corrected, I will be happy to have this marked as resolved. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5817> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
