Hi,

If you have the Editra Log window open (View->Shelf->Editra Log) in your open
instance of Editra are any errors/warnings shown when you try to open the 
second file
from the command line?

Also check for errors printed to the console when trying 'Editra -dd bar' after 
the
first instance is already running.

I am guessing a possible IPC issue here as I can't reproduce on my mac and 
there have
been issues with editra's ipc server on linux before.

Thanks for the report,

Cody

Nothing special seen in the Editra log window. I've attached the log file from
starting Editra with the -dd option.

Thanks, I don't see anything special in there either.

One more test:

1) Open PyShell Plugin
2) enter the following commands (one line at a time)
import profiler
key = profiler.Profile_Get('SESSION_KEY')
print key
import ed_ipc
print ed_ipc.SendCommand(ed_ipc.IPCCommand(), key)
3) This should cause a new window to be opened, if it doesn't please send me 
the text
for the two print statements from the pyshell window.

Thanks,

Cody

Hi,

This was quite useful I have an idea of what may be going on (even though some 
text
from the end appears to be missing).

Look in your installation directory under Editra/src/syntax

Is there a file called xml.py there? There have been issues with that old file 
not
getting uninstalled recently that caused conflicts.

I would suggest trying to remove your installation directory and installing 
again I
think some files might be in conflict ($python_lib/site-packages/Editra).

Thanks,

Cody

Deleted installation directory and reinstalled. Same problem. I'm re-attaching 
the
python stuff you requested. I may have missed the last line before.

Ah,

I'm sorry I made a typo in the commands to run.

Should have been SendCommands (with the s at the end)

print ed_ipc.SendCommands(ed_ipc.IPCCommand(), key)

Hi,

The above output all looks correct, did it cause a new window to be opened?

Does this issue still persist in the latest release (0.5.32)?

Thanks,

Cody

I cannot reproduce this issue and have not received a reply so I am going to 
close
this for now. If the issue still exists in the current release please feel free 
to
reopen this issue.
