Hi,
it seems to me that opening/sending a .inp file to gretl on Windows
fails if no script editor window is already open. This is with an
October snapshot. Scenario:
0. Gretl (GUI) is running.
1. Double-click on an .inp file.
2. A small window opens asking "start new gretl instance?". I click
"no".
3. The dialog window closes, then nothing happens.
(Dragging the file onto the main window works alright.)
thanks
sven

OK, I see what you mean.
This is very fiddly on Windows, which doesn't do POSIX signals. It
seems the message to open a file in a prior gretl instance was being
sent OK, but not received by prior gretl -- probably because it was
somehow being sent to the wrong window.
We now make a more strenuous effort to identify the correct target
window for the message. That's in git and snapshots.

Thanks Allin, it works in a first quick test!
