How can I close a previously opened file in Arduino IDE 2.3.2? if I select the file I want to close and then click on File, Close the entire IDF closes as if I had chosen to Quit. Windows 10 Pro
That is how it operates. You could also start a new sketch, or open an existing sketch. Both will open a new IDE instance.
[late edit] Each IDE instance operates on one sketch inside the folder containing the sketch. On my older systems, I could see the temporary files being created and deleted.
Are you referring to a file in a sketch with multiple tabs? If yes, you can not close them.
And as @xfpd indicated, File/Close closes the sketch that is open in the IDE. If you have two Or more) IDE windows open or two (or more) IDE instances, only the one that you close will close.
OK, Thanks to all, once upon a time I knew a good deal about using Arduinos and the IDE but that was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
