GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 319961
Nautilus doesn't open multiple files in multiple gedit tabs.
Last modified: 2005-11-11 08:10:49 UTC
If you select more than one plain text file (created by gEdit) in Nautilus, then use Ctrl-O to Open them, several instances of gEdit are launched (one for each file) if (a) gEdit isn't already running or (b) if it is already running and more than 5 files are being opened. If less than 6 files are being opened, and gEdit is running, each file is opened in a different tab of the same instance). But if we try to open them from commandline, gedit always opens in multiple tabs.
