OK, I implemented the double-click singleton opening. Starting with tomorrow's build, double-clicking a .pd file will open the patch in the already running instance of Pd-extended. It also means that üßáôå work.

Hi,
I can't get a second session of Pd to start with the latest releases (2013 01 01). The first session catches the double click on pd/bin/pd.exe or pd/bin/pd.com and I get this in the console: Ignoring '': doesn't look like a Pd-file
I tried starting a copy of pd.exe, but I got the same thing in the end.
I notice an extra pd.exe running in the task manager for each subsequent start of pd.exe, but I can't access any of them but the first session. I have to shut them down from the task manager.
I think I got this working well. Basically the way it works now is that use uses DDE to receive the double-clicked filename. This also gives Pd the filename in full unicode, while "%ProgramFiles\pd\bin\pd.exe -open" is still only ASCII or maybe latin1. That unfortunately means that if the file that launches Pd has extended unicode chars in it, that file won't be loaded since its handed to Pd using "pd.exe -open".
So the first instance of Pd that starts registers as the DDE server. Then any double-clicked files are sent to the first instance via DDE. Then any other new Pd instances just don't register with DDE. Unlike with GNU/Linux, there is no check whether the current instance should quit since Windows sends the DDE directly, we don't need a tcl program to find the Pd instance and send it a message.

Hi,
Thanks for looking into this. Has this been integrated in the current latest? As of : Pd-0.43.4-extended-20130104 I cannot start a second session from a cmd window, the "execute" from the start menu, double-clicking, selecting either pd.exe or pd.com and typing Enter. All this still only loads one session. If I start a patch by all the means listed above, I still only have one instance in the end.
There were some key changes that I just did yesterday, so 2012-01-05 is the build to try for Windows.

Looks like it's back to the old behaviour. If I double click a file it starts a new Pd session. Not that it bother's me really. I mean with the drag and drop plug-in is a nice alternative to double clicking. At least now I can start a second session.
