So... I used to be able to select several ai files and hit enter and they all open IN ONE WINDOW. Now, I get several instances of Illustrator running, each with a single file. Please fix!!

OK so I tried to replicate the issue and no go. All good now. Weird. Not sure what I did for it to happen but when I now select several files and hit enter they all open in one instance of Illustrator.

Hello @Todd_Morgan,

 

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, system config (CPU/GPU/Memory), and a screen recording of the problem (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/screen-record-an-issue-on-windows-amp-macos-for-sharing/td-p/12967727), as suggested by Monika so that we can investigate this further?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
