Launch from .BRU fails to load .BRU if program open

Postby chrisjj » Tue Jul 22, 2025 12:38 am

4.0.0.9 in Windows 7

1 In Explorer, double-click a .BRU.
2 Verify program opens and loads settings
3 In Explorer, double-click a second, different .BRU.

Expected: second .BRU loaded.
Expected: second BRU [img]not[/img] loaded, leaving first BRUs settings in place.

This can have very serious consequences for critical applications esp. since a JS rename difference is unseen on the main screen.

Hi, BRU wasn't designed to open a .bru file, if the program was already opened. We have added that now. 8)

That's doesn't fit with with the fact the BRU exe does accept and can act on the filename parameter.

Does this mean you fixed the reported failure of the existing feature?

Sorry, please ignore that last comment. I now see that changing /designed/ to /coded/ makes your comment makes sense. I look forward to the fix! Thanks.

Yes, just clarifying that there was no code in there to make that functionality happen, we have it added for 4.0.1.0 8)
