Evolve opens multiple instances of the program

Evolve is already open and I doubleclick an .evo file in Finder. This is opening another instance of the program so now I have the same program running in duplicate. Is this expected behaviour? Does Evolve not support having multiple files open at the same time?

    We don't currently support managing multiple files in one instance of Evolve.

    Opening multiple instances of a program is not standard behaviour on MacOSX for several reasons. That's why I assumed it is a bug.

    It works for me...I can copy paste between open docs...but of cause a bit of a od behavior for a mac user. I have one other application that won't open two or more files. And won't open the application twice...that is annoying.

    Lunau, if you look in the article I linked to it is explained how to do it with every application, not that it's adviced but it might help you out in those situations you really need it.
