Is there a way to make LyX not open a whole new copy of itself whenever I double-click on a .lyx file in Windows explorer? (I use XP and LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0)
No, this feature is not implemented yet.
I believe that if Lyx is already open on the computer, a new file should open a new document tab, but not yet another instance of LyX.
I suggest to use drag&drop instead as a work around the problem, this works fine.
This can be an incredible waste of resources on my computer, especially when LyX is already very slow! (though I have a dual-core Intel processor at 3.2 GHz with 3.2 Gb or RAM).
Well, LyX has a reputation of being very fast on Windows and Linux platform. So, if you can describe in what way you think it is slow or if there is a reproducible test case that exhibits the slowness, I'd be interested to know. LyX (1.5 and 1.6 release candidates) are very fast here on my slower machines.
