Creating a new window from menubar duplicates an existing window

[dashed]

Creating a new window duplicates an existing window. I just want to create a new window with no state.

Useful for setting new tree view since the following isn't possible: atom/tree-view#185

EDIT: see #41 (comment)

How are you creating the new window? (keyboard shortcut, command pallete?)

[dashed]

On interesting. Creating a new window via keyboard shortcut and command palette creates an empty window.

But from the menubar, File > New Window, duplicates the current window.

I'm using Atom Version 0.167.0 (0.167.0)

Hmm your right. When the command application:new-window is triggered, the project path is cleared, so it is not reopened on the next window opening. However, the menubar version strangely doesn't seem to trigger application:new-window...

[mesosteros]

Yup, just tested this out. I was getting frustrated about opening a duplicate.
It would be great to have the new window option in File not duplicating the current project like the shortcut.
If I want to start a completely new blank project, I don't want to see the old one's file, file tree and contents.
And not all users remember the New Window shortcut or find pratical to have access to such a simple feature throught the Command Palette.

@mpeterson2 Could this be a regression in atom core?

[mpeterson2]

Yeah, I feel like Atom core should be triggering application:new-window. I don't think it should work any differently from using the command palette or the shortcut.

It would be great if save-session could skip restoring the session in certain situations, such as "File -> New Window" from within Atom, or in the case of launching Atom from the command-line with parameters provided (like typing "atom ." to launch Atom with the current folder opened).

This issue should be resolved now.
