Creating a new window from menubar duplicates an existing window about save-session HOT 8 CLOSED

How are you creating the new window? (keyboard shortcut, command pallete?)

from save-session.

On interesting. Creating a new window via keyboard shortcut and command palette creates an empty window.

But from the menubar, File > New Window, duplicates the current window.

I'm using Atom Version 0.167.0 (0.167.0)

from save-session.

Hmm your right. When the command application:new-window is triggered, the project path is cleared, so it is not reopened on the next window opening. However, the menubar version strangely doesn't seem to trigger application:new-window...

from save-session.

Yup, just tested this out. I was getting frustrated about opening a duplicate.
It would be great to have the new window option in File not duplicating the current project like the shortcut.
If I want to start a completely new blank project, I don't want to see the old one's file, file tree and contents.
And not all users remember the New Window shortcut or find pratical to have access to such a simple feature throught the Command Palette.

@mpeterson2 Could this be a regression in atom core?

from save-session.

Yeah, I feel like Atom core should be triggering application:new-window. I don't think it should work any differently from using the command palette or the shortcut.

from save-session.

It would be great if save-session could skip restoring the session in certain situations, such as "File -> New Window" from within Atom, or in the case of launching Atom from the command-line with parameters provided (like typing "atom ." to launch Atom with the current folder opened).

from save-session.

This issue should be resolved now.
