Add a command line option and a Mousepad setting to choose how to open files
Closes #14 (closed).
I made the following design choice: only one --opening-mode
option, with three modes:
- "tab": open files in new tabs in the last active window if any, or in a new window;
- "window": open files in new windows;
- "mixed": open files in new tabs in a new window (this is the current behavior).
I thought this would be better than several options, like --window
and --tab
, which can lead, in my opinion, to behavior that is not as intuitive as the option names might suggest, as e.g. for Gedit or xfce4-terminal
.
When adding the "opening mode" entry to the preferences dialog (on which the command line option have precedence), I also modified the expansion properties of some combo boxes.
