GIMP - open image in same gimp

hsriat

Every time I right click on an image to open it in GIMP, its opens in a new GIMP instead of opening a new window in the already opened one. If I open 5 images, it will open 5 separate GIMPs. This takes a lot of time as GIMP takes time to start (at least on my machine).

Earlier, it would open in single GIMP. I want the same settings back.
Any idea what happened, and what to do?

Yay, someone else who uses GIMP! I've never encountered this problem, but I would uninstall my current version and download the latest one (what I have) and that should fix the problem.

Thanks,

It isn't a problem I guess. Its just some setting change which I somehow made and now not able to find what it was. Because it wasn't the same with the earlier one.

Have you tried going to your preferences and selecting the reset button?
