Preventing the same file from being opened more than once

[Henderson, Peter (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

Hi,

Is there a way please, to set NEdit up so that if you try to open up the
same file twice the user will receive a warning or it will prevent them
from doing so.
I'm thinking of a scenario where NEdit opens after clicking on a block
in a diagram. The user may click this block, opening the editor twice
without realising so. I understand that the second copy is marked as
such, but my users do not feel this goes far enough.

Many thanks

Peter

When you use the nedit client to open the file (`nc file.txt` instead of `nedit file.txt`, "nc" might be "nedit-nc" or "ncl"), the corresponding instance of nedit opens a file only once. When only using "nedit" itself, as a separate instance for each file, I don't see a practical way to achieve this.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
