Bug #3803
openCannot open a workflow through the command prompt, open with, or send to menus
0%
Description
XP Pro x64 SP2, Java 1.6.0_11, Kepler 1.0.0 from kepler-project.org
If I right click a workflow file and select Open With->Kepler, I get an error.
If I add a shortcut to Kepler to my SendTo menu, then right click the workflow file and use the Send To link, I get the same error.
If I call Kepler from the command prompt with the workflow as the only argument, I get the same error.
An image of the error is at the URL.
I think this feature is available under linux:

To clarify, this relates to the Open With and Send To menus in Windows Explorer.
I apparently had a Kepler session already open, and this behavior is due to the cache being locked. I get the expected behavior when Kepler is not already running. Kepler does not gracefully open additional windows or merge into the existing process if a session is already open.
Lowering priority and leaving open.

Basically we need a way to bypass all the Kepler start up stuff and just open a workflow if Kepler is already running and you invoke it with the name of a workflow.
I'll also mention that on OS X, "open with" doesn't even work when Kepler is not already running...

not critical for 2.0 release. it's a nice feature to have, but not blocking the release.
