| Some external editors can open multiple files in one process. Usually such editors have some kind of tabbed interface, but it is also case of new versions of Microsoft Word (2000 and later). | Some external editors can open multiple files in one process.

| - | If such editor is already running and the WinSCP runs second instance to open new file, the second instance just notifies the first to open the new file and exits immediately. Hence WinSCP expects that the file was closed as well and tries to delete the temporary file. | + | If such an editor is already running and WinSCP runs a second instance to open new file, the second instance just notifies the first to open the new file and exits immediately.

| To allow WinSCP to use this kind of editor, you need to enable preference option //[[ui_editor_preferences#external|External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)]]//((Note that WinSCP can heuristically detect that you need to enable the option //External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)// and offers you to do so.)). Then WinSCP will not treat the file as closed when the editor launched to open it is closed. Drawback is that all the files ever edited by the current instance of WinSCP will be kept in [[temp_folder|temporary directory]] (until WinSCP is closed) and WinSCP will need to watch for changes of them all. Note that setting only affects the "edit" operation. | To allow WinSCP to use this kind of editor, you need to enable preference option //[[ui_editor_preferences#external|External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)]]//((Note that WinSCP can heuristically detect that you need to enable the option //External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)// and offers you to do so.)).
