This is precisely why I find scitecmd useful: generally I don't want one instance only... but sometimes I do want an application to open a tab rather than a new instance (an example is a perl script I run as a user tool which locates the definition of the symbol under the cursor, then opens the source file containing that definition). scitecmd gives the best of both worlds: the /option/ to open in a new tab when multiple instances are enabled. > it's a setting somewhere in the properties > (one instance only).
