jedit has 100 or so windows open

Submitted by jeditcdnguy on Sunday, 8 July, 2012 - 00:40

Hi - I'm running jedit 4.5.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 with the latest Java.

Some time back I opened a ton of files then closed them all and now the windows won't go away. If I open jedit to edit one file, the one file is there in the first window, the file shows up alone in the drop down menu but when alt tab goes to jedit, the 100 or so windows are there.

I have tried global closing, everything. Can anyone make a suggestion, please?

Views

Hi,
jedit windows that belong to one and the same running jEdit instance are called "views". jEdit remembers all open views at shutdown and restores them at startup.

You could close them all manually via menu ("View -> Close") or by clicking the "X" button of every view.

Or You may delete Your jEdit settings directory or maybe only the file "perspective.xml" inside this directory.

Awesome!

I had the same Problems with the lots of windows thanks for the fix I am relativ new. Sometimes things are very easy but I didn't see the solution.
