Can't open to current directory in Cmder single instance mode

See original GitHub issue

I am currently using the parameters for Cmder for Windows specified in the readme.

"parameters": ["/START", "%CWD%"]

When I try to open Cmder from Sublime it works fine if I have no other Cmder window open. It opens to the CWD as expected. But when I try to open Cmder again (with another Cmder window already open) it does not open a new tab in Cmder. It only brings focus to the previously open Cmder window and does not change the directory.

As far as Cmder settings, I have reset them to default, and just turned on single instance mode. If I turn off single instance mode, and let Cmder open a new window each time, everything works as expected. But I would like this to work with multiple tabs in Cmder if possible.

Also, when using the right click > Open Cmder Here function in explorer, I don’t have this same problem, and new tabs open to the correct directory.

I’ve reinstalled Cmder a dozen times and played around with settings and parameters with no luck. I also don’t get any errors in the Sublime console so no idea where to go from here. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Yea, I think it looks like a Cmder issue as well. My suggestion for next steps is find out what command the explorer context menu is running and try to get that working in a command prompt

I’m going to pre-emptively close this issue as invalid

Any update from Cmder about fixing this?
