on ubuntu, every time i double click on a pd file to open it, a new instance of pd is created.

is there any way i can restrict this so that only one instance of pd is opened, and then new files are opened within that same instance?

pd/src$ grep -- -new notes.txt pd to find running ones (pd -new to defeat)

afaik, currently there is no way to tell a running Pd to open a patch from outside (i mean, without a helper-patch).

(but then i don't use features like clicking on a pd-patch to open it)
