Multiple instances even if UseTabs is true

[foxtrottNB]

Hello sumatrapdf,
I prefer the user interface with tabs to the one without them.
On Windows, the title bar and the app menu look more modern.
That’s why I set UseTabs = true.
This seems to cause ReuseInstance to be ignored.
However, I’d still like to have a new instance for each document.
When you drag a tab out of the window, a new instance opens. So how can I get a new instance right from the start?

Best regards,
Ronny from Germany

i am using 3.6.1, so it will be in 3.7?

Dziękuję!

Hmm I wonder if the OP is unaware that "reuse" means the same exe is used for all tabs so for example the first file is tabbed and the tab system is reused for the second file e.g reuse is NOT a separate window.

[foxtrottNB]

However, i would like to have a new window when opening a new pdf, dispite the terminology of "reuse".
So if there are multiple windows, yes, it would be e new exe that is running ;-)

@foxtrottNB
To FORCE a -new-window that would need to be part of the call for example a shortcut (or a SendTo)
will without any change to reuse force the secondary window

This should work the same in 3.6.1 but the downside is that one shortcut will always open an extra window
