Feature Request: Keep Login window open when opening PuTTY session

Hello,

I would like to suggest a small usability improvement for WinSCP regarding the login window behavior when opening PuTTY sessions.

I often use WinSCP as my main SSH session manager. When I right-click a saved session and choose “Open in PuTTY”, the WinSCP login window closes automatically after launching PuTTY.

It would be very useful to have an optional setting such as:
“Keep login window open after opening session in PuTTY”

This would allow users to quickly open multiple SSH sessions one after another without needing to reopen WinSCP or click “New Tab” repeatedly.

For users who manage many servers or SSH connections, this could significantly improve workflow and convenience.

Thank you for the great software and for considering this suggestion.

Just hold-down Shift key while opening the session:

Thanks @martin

Thanks, that helps a lot, although I've searched for it without success. As a last resort, do you think implementing an option would be complicated to add?

We will see, if more people ask for this.

Thank you for that!

Is it possible for this feature to be included in the new version 6.6? I’d be willing to make a donation if necessary, as it would really help me out—I almost always forget to press Shift. It would be great to have an option on the login screen to enable or disable this.

I'll look into it.

Thanks, I appreciate it!
