Is your feature request related to a problem?

In game maker studio 2 we can't open more than One project at time

Describe the solution you'd like

It Will be great to have the possibility to open more than one project at time ( using One instance of gamemaker.exe ) so we can access and Copy our code and do other stuffs One project to another and having It on different tabs on the top of the workSpace area like: | project1 | | project2 | | project3 | . Maybe with the possibility to use drag and drop actions to share resource One project to another

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm not sure having multiple different GM projects open in the same GM instance would be the best use of YYG resources for the time being (assuming it's a non-trivial thing).

If you just need to copy-paste a few code snippets around, you can open multiple GM instances with different project each.

If you need to copy assets in bulk, you may create a Local Package from one project, then import it in another project. Upcoming Prefabs feature may or may not provide even better options for local code re-use, depending how they're implemented.

In general, the only time I feel the need to open multiple projects at the same time is when I want to copy stuff around, and this situation happens infrequently enough that copy-paste between GM instances or creating a simple Local Package isn't too much of a hassle. But also that's me.

Just open two IDEs?
