Run PL SQLDeveloper as a single application

[gural]

Hi, all
Is there way to open a file with extension associated with PL/SQL developer in currently running instance of the PL SQL Developer. Current behavior - the new instance of the Developer being opened.
Please don't suggest to drag the file into the current instance because we need to open file via double click. I am trying write a VB script which checking if an instance of PLS Developer is running, if true- open file in this version else - run PLS Developer and then open the file and to put this VB script as action in Windows File association.....
Any help appreciated.....

This is the standard behavior, and this is how it works for me. Perhaps you can go to Tools > Preferences > Files / Extensions, press the "Register file types" button at the bottom of this preference page, and perform the registration. Maybe this will help.
