Multiple copies of plsql developer

[Tom Hillson]

Hi,
Is there an option to NOT open multiple copies of plsd? If I have the application open and double click on a registered file type from windows explorer it opens up another version of plsd and doesn't open the file. I would prefer that it open the file in the current plsd application.

I am using version: 5.1.4.730 on win2k.

Thanks,
Tom

That is how it works for me: a double-click opens the file in the current PL/SQL Developer instance. What happens if you go to Tools > Preferences > File extensions tab page, press the "Register Filetypes" button, an press OK? Does this fix the problem?

Nope. That was the first thing that I tried. The filetypes that are registered are different from the default set that come with the tool. We use .sps and .spb for package spec and body. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

Can you start the registry editor, export the following section:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PL/SQL Developer

and send it to me?
