    Regarding this: UltraEdit v27.00 re-opens files that were not open when the app was last closed

    This is happening to me with version 28.10.0.0 (and was happening for the past few versions).

    This happens when more than one UE window is open, and both seem to want to update the file 'ue.vod'.

    I made copies of this file whenever it was updated. It gets updated anywhere from one to five minutes have elapsed, and will continue to be updated every five minutes.

    There will come a time when switching between instances, that the following will get changed:

    Code: Select all

    [Open Address Bar] :: the list of items

[Open Files]

    Of particular interest, I cannot locate where UE is getting the [Open Files] list. There is no "HKCU\SOFTWARE\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit\Open Files" registry key.

    I haven't developed a 100% step-by-step sequence to show this, but I will conclude that it is because of multi-instance contention, and some kind of bug that gets a list of open files from somewhere and populates the 'ue.vod' file with it.

    Edit two days later:

    Just some additional info:

    When I changed the Open Files section to just that one line, then started UE, that section got rewritten to have:

    Code: Select all

    [Open Files]
Active File Display Mode="3"
Active File Index="-1"
Remember Files="0"
    The last two lines never appeared before.

    Edit two more days later:

    And

    Code: Select all

    Remember Files="0"
    will eventually disappear.
