True, but on Windows clicking 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..
