When used as external editor in file managers, how do i prevent ST from creating new windows every time it's invoked?

#1

For example, on MacOS, using Double Commander, I’ve set ST as external editor, so that when pressing F4 on a file, it opens it with ST. However, it starts a new instance of ST every time. is there a setting to prevent starting a new instance of ST when invoked externally?

Maybe calling subl instead of main sublime text binary?

Have you already set "open_files_in_new_window": false?
