Processing (1.0.4), when starting, always opens the sketches that were open in the last session,
which is fine and saves time.

However, if there were no open sketches the last time (or the only sketch open was a new
sketch that was never saved), it opens a new blank sketch even if another sketch is going to
open anyway (the user is opening a sketch by double-clicking on it).

This is just a minor issue, though.

Yeah, this is a tricky one because we aren't notified by Mac OS X when a
sketch has been opened until after the application has been running for a
few milliseconds. But it's something that I'd like to find a workaround for.

It seems this issue is back in Processing 2.0. I'm using 2.0b6 (OS X 10.6.8 and 10.8.2) and this happens every time.

When I click File -> Open... or open a sketch from examples, a new window is always created above the old empty one. Can we load the sketch into current (empty) window?

Is this problem still up for up for some contributions?

Still experiencing this issue now, using Windows 11, Processing version 4.0b8.
