If you check "Show Error Message", you will get a non-modal dialog saying "Only one instance allowed", but it will still open an additional instance.

on Jul 21, 2025 @Hirogen The issue seems to be solved only partially. The "allow only one instance" feature in builds from Development branch opens logfile in a new window in same LogExpert process instead of a new tab in existing window. I verified that using SystemInformer after dragging a log file onto same LogExpert executable that is already running.
If I understand the implementation correctly,
Program.SerializeCommandIntoNonFormattedJSON()is sendingIpcMessageType.NewWindowbutIpcMessageType.Loadwould be more appropriate.please recheck, this should be fixed in one of the current dev builds... I think i shadow fixed it without its prober MR
fixed with 1.40
Even when checked:
Opening more files results in multiple instances of LogExpert instead of multiple tabs.
Seems like the setting has no impact at all.
Tested on V1.20.0
