Alex, Agreed.
This is not how I expected the launch command to behave either. It may be a cut-throat measure to prevent OS's that create multiple instances of an app from draining memory. But there should be (imho) an improvement to launch to let it send a document to an already open app. That's why I was seeking out alternatives.
