FYI, this does NOT work on Mac (OSX Sonoma 14.5) - it just focusses the already 
open QGIS instance....

That actually works. Yikes. Thats embarrassing :/ :) But Im 100% sure that has 
not always been the case (at least not at my PC); it used to just bring the 
already open instance into focus. Anyway, thanks for your super fast response 
and help :)

Hi Thomas

Yes. I have many instances opened concurrently with multiple projects. I too 
lost the file association with the project qgz a long time ago, due to me 
having multiple versions on my PC.

To achieve this, simply use the Windows (Start menu)/Mac (application menu), 
search for the QGIS application and version you want to use, then click to open 
a new instance.

I want two instances open at the same time, with each their project, so I can 
copy layer styling from one project to another.

Previously I did the following. Go to Windows Explorer, double click a .qgz 
file, and that project would open in another instance.

At some point, the file associations were lost, and if I double click the 
files, it asks what application to use, and QGIS is not even on the list. I 
think this happened after I installed using osgeo4w-installer, for "Just me" 
(though I'm not sure).

Anyway, is there anything I can do to open another instance?

Sincerely, Thomas
