Opening active file in new instance of UltraEdit

[PaulM]

I like the new feature of opening a new instance of UltraEdit.

However I would like to be able to right click on the Tab for a file I already have opened in UE and then transfer that file into a new instance of UE. Is that possible?

That should be possible. I good idea would be if Advanced - Open New Instance of UltraEdit would open a new instance and when SHIFT is hold while executing the command, the current file is opened in the new instance. You can send a feature request email to IDM.

A workaround could be following:

Configure a user tool with Menu Item Name Open File in New Instance, the Command Line C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\uedit32.exe /fni "%f", an empty Working Directory and on the Options tab Windows Program selected. Next make sure that all other check box options on the Options and Output tab are not enabled and the radio options on the 2 tabs have their default values, especially Capture Output should not be enabled (by default checked).

Then customize the popup menu and add the command for the user tool.

Thanks for the workaround - it does successfully open %f in a new instance of UE.

I will put in the feature request as you suggested.

Many thanks.
