I think that's a reasonable approach.
If I send a .nqc source file to someone using a CyberMaster connected to a
diferent COM port, then this is a better solution.
Also, by sending a .nqc that usually goes to Program 5 on my RCX, it won't
accidentally destroy the Program 5 on my friend's RCX.
On a multi pbBrick environment, with specific settings to that BricxCC
instalation (CyberMaster on COM2, Scout on COM3 and RCX2 on USB) that will
ease the opening of specific source files, while not interfering with
someone else's setup, using a copy of the same .nqc files.
Now, imagine this scenario:
1) Open a ex1cm.nqc file with a .dsk saying it's for a CyberMaster on COM2
-> It will open a BricxCC session with that file and those settings
2) Then, open ex2rcx2.nqc file with a .dsk saying it's for a RCX2 on USB,
Prg=4
-> It will open *another* BricxCC instance with those settings, right ?
3) Open a ex3cm.nqc (.dsk for a CyberMaster on *COM3*)
-> What happens ? Will the file be opened on the first BricxCC instance,
because BricxCC finds no CyberMaster on COM3 and because there's already a
BricxCC/CyberMaster instance running ?
4) Open a ex4rcx2.nqc (.dsk=RCX2,USB,Prg=3)
-> The file will appear on the, already running, BricxCC/RCX2 session,
right ?
5) Open ex5rcx2.nqc (.dsk=RCX2,COM3,Prg=3)
-> What happens now ?
6) Open ex6rcx.nqc (.dsk=RCX,COM3,Prg=1)
-> Will it try to find a RCX on COM3, reverting to the already running
BricxCC/RCX2 instance if that fails ?
As you can see, BricxCC should give priority on type of pbBrick when
choosing (if possible!) between already running BricxCC instances.

PS: Thxs for BricxCC !

| Hi John, I haven't installed the new version yet. Just a comment on my request. Your idea seems OK. However, this means you need two read two files. If I would have a look into my old.nqc file two months later I would see directly what settings (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| (...) In the simplest implementation (i.e., the one I'm likely to write) if you double click on an NQC file it will always open a new instance of BricxCC. That's the way it works right now. I may have it always bypass the "search" form when opening (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| I've uploaded release 3.3.2.12 of BricxCC. A previous release (3.3.2.11) implemented support for COM5 through COM8. Existing users that have saved a default USB port will have to re-establish their default if they upgrade to this release. In (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
