Prevent ST3 from opening same folder more than once

#1

Hi all,

So whenever I need to open a project folder in in Sublime Text 3, I do a Terminal Command:

subl ~/projects/foo

However, if you run this command more than once, you’ll see that it opens multiple windows repeatedly instead of making the already open one active.

The behavior I want is similar to Sublime Merge

smerge ~/projects/foo

If you run smerge multiple times you’ll see it just makes the current window active instead of opening multiple instances of the same project.

Is there any sort of setting I can change to get the same behavior as Sublime Merge?

This is fixed in Sublime Text 4!
