Description djoham 2002-01-22 06:12:04 UTC 
Forgive me if this is a dupe, but I did a search and didn't find this anywhere.

I know that OpenOffice is trying to be more UNIXy and have different windows for every document and 
that's fine. However, I have to think that we may have gone a teensy bit too far...

Recreation:
Open OpenOffice
Select File->Open and open a file

The new file is opened in a separate window, leaving the original window just sorta hanging there which can 
be confusing to users and wasteful of resources.

I believe it would be better to open the document in the current window when the application is just starting. 
Later, if the user requests a new file via File->Open, that document can be opened in a new window.

Anyway, that's my .02

Thanks

David

djoham, this Issue is sure old but you may want to have a look at the present
OOo 1.1.0 or 1.1.1b to see whether the problem has been solved. I suppose it is
since the first session of OOo now doesn't open with an empty window, if that
was ever the case.

pinkernell, I agree that this issue can be closed. When I log into IssueZilla however, I 
don't seem to have rights to do that. What's up?

Hi Bettina, 
I think this issue can be closed. In OOo 1.1.1 the document is opened in the
same window if that contained a blank document.

Works in 1.1.4.

Closed as worksforme.
