Had a SSD (C drive) die a couple of weeks ago. Put in a new one and reinstalled all software per usual. Using Windows 7 (64 bit), service pack 1. Eagle installed like this:
Eagle operates about as usual, and is recognized as a program in program manager. If I click on a file with the .brd or .sch extensions, it opens just fine.
The problem is that multiple instances of Eagle start up if I click on a file, close both components of that file, and then click on another file. That causes a second, third, etc. instance of Eagle to start. That can create a little operational confusion when you are making libraries, updating libraries, and working with Options (e.g., setting function keys).
The only way to avoid having so many instances running is to close Eagle too after (or before) closing the files. I don't recall it operating like that in the past. In the past, I had some earlier versions installed before installing Eagle 7.2.0.
1) Is that the way Eagle 7.2 is supposed to work with a clean install?
2) Is there any way to avoid the multiple instances starting beside doing what I described? (The "bin" location is what I am concerned about. I don't know what it is supposed to do.)
Thanks.
John
