Heard somewhere that mac has this kind of strange thing (calculator open just one annoying instance, every app opens just one instance minus text editor, but I think that is just one instance that handles some way sub instances.. But I dn't know mac os). O Windows we must force not opening a new instance.. Maybe opposite design ideas/worlds. In my head appear to be ideal to just open another instance.. Like calculator.. I must do the trick on it too.

True, but on Windows clicking VS.NET <http://VS.NET> icon launches new instance. It does not jump to open window. On MD Mac it jumps to open window. Thus there is no non-geeky way to launch a 2nd+ window. Adding right click option to MD icon may be another option. I am not a Mac UI guru by any means. -Mike On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 1:12 PM, Karl Heinz Brehme Arredondo <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't remember now a way to Visual Studio to open more than one solutions in > the same Visual Studio instance..
