<div dir="ltr">That actually works. Yikes. Thats embarrassing :/ :) But Im 100% sure that has not always been the case (at least not at my PC); it used to just bring the already open instance into focus. Anyway, thanks for your super fast response and help :)<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 9:25 AM Nigel Berjak <<a href="mailto:nigel@s3.co.za">nigel@s3.co.za</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">
<p>Hi Thomas</p>
<p>Yes. I have many instances opened concurrently with multiple projects. I too lost the file association with the project qgz a long time ago, due to me having multiple versions on my PC.</p>
<p>To achieve this, simply use the Windows (Start menu)/Mac (application menu), search for the QGIS application and version you want to use, then click to open a new instance.</p>

<div>I want two instances open at the same time, with each their project, so I can copy layer styling from one project to another. </div>
<div> </div>
Previously I did the following. Go to Windows Explorer, double click a .qgz file, and that project would open in another instance.
<div> </div>
<div>At some point, the file associations were lost, and if I double click the files, it asks what application to use, and QGIS is not even on the list. I think this happened after I installed using osgeo4w-installer, for "Just me" (though I'm not sure). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, is there anything I can do to open another instance?</div>
