While CVI is running, double clicking on a .cws file, CVI should ask if we want a second instance to be opened

Status: New

Quite often I need to look at one project source code while working on a second one

So, I use Windows File Explorer, find my project of interrest then double click on the .cws file

In this case, CVI load the cws file in the running instance of the IDE

This is not really what I want

I would like CVI  opens the workspace in a new instance of the IDE (similar to what is done when, in a function panel help, you click on the "open sample code" button)

For what I remember I believe the above behavior is the one adopted by Visual Studio Express 2013

So far, I must remember to run a second instance of CVI first and then drag'n drop the cws file

PS : drag'n drop a .cws or .prj should work on the CVI Welcome page
