IDE does not load sketch

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

I have a sketch open in the IDE, 2.0.0-rc3, I can not open any other sketch from Windows file explorer. I closed the IDE completely and doubleclicked on the file I wanted to open. The IDE opens with the previous sketch and refuses to open any other sketch from Windows file explorer, there is just no reaction.
I can open sketches from within the IDE.
Windows 10 completely patched.

This is a known deficiency. The developers simply haven't added the capability to pass sketch paths to the IDE from the command line at start up. So when you start the IDE by double clicking on a sketch, the sketch path argument is completely ignored and it is no different compared to just starting the Arduino IDE directly.

This is being tracked here:

Thanks for that.
I will follow up.

Same problem here.
Did a fresh install of IDE 2.0-rc3 on Win10 21H2.
Won't open a sketch by double-clicking on an INO, neither open a file by IDE-internal file open.
The only way to do ist copying via paste from an other editor.

Hi all. There is a new proposal for adding the requested functionality:

Prebuilt tester versions of the Arduino IDE are available for people to help out with testing and feedback:

  1. Log in to your GitHub account.
  2. Open this page: Actions · arduino/arduino-ide · GitHub
  3. On this page, you will see a list of the "workflow runs" that created the test builds. Click on the one at the top of the list, which will be the up to date version:

  4. Under the "Artifacts" section of the page that opens, you will see a list of downloads for each operating system. Click on the one for your operating system.
    For example, if you are using Windows, click on "Windows_X86-64_zip"
  5. Wait for the download to finish.
  6. Extract/unzip the downloaded file.
  7. Depending on which download you used, there may be another archive inside of the one you extracted. If so, extract that one as well.

Now you can try out the tester version of the Arduino IDE. Please note that this is only intended to be used for beta testing and review of the proposal. Once the proposal has been accepted, there will be regular nightly builds and eventually a release with the new feature.
