A simple question about opening monodevelop

Unity Engine
1

How exactly am I supposed to open monodevelop? When I open a script in the inspector, monodevelop will launch. It has all the classes open that I had open last, which is great. But it also opens up a second copy of whatever script I just double-clicked.

I’ve looked through the menus in Unity, but I don’t see an option to simply launch monodevelop. So how am I supposed to open it without opening a second window of a script I already have open?

MonoDevelop isn’t part of Unity, it’s a separate app, so to simply launch it would be done the same way as any other app. Opening a second copy of the same script would be an issue with MonoDevelop…I don’t see that behavior here, but maybe there’s a setting for it.

In monodevelop look under

Tools->Options->Projects->Load/Save
make sure that ‘Load previous solution on startup’ is UNticked
