    I have been trying to figure this out for a while with no luck, so hopefuly someone will see this and point me in the right direction. Today, the way I open my sessions is to go to: File -> Open Shortcut File -> Double-click or click on .gts file then open.

    In all cases, this presents me with the "SSH Login" window with the following details:

    Host <host>
    Connection SSH2
    Account <account>
    Authentication PublicKey
    Encoding iso-8859-1
    Passphrase <none/blank>
    Private Key <keyfile>
    

    I then hit "OK" and I"m signed on; GREAT! The trouble is that I have 80-some-odd systems so if I have to open a terminal/session to each one (which yes, sometimes I have to), this can be combersome and take some time.

    The issue/question I have is: if I am outside Poderosa and double-click on the .gts shortcut to launch it/connect, what happens is that a brand new Poderosa window opens, and that's it. What I'd very much like is to be able to double-click on the .gts file and have it automatically connect me to the system. Ideally, if nothing else is open, it would launch the application then connect; and if something is already open (another sessions for example), it would open as a new tab in the existing application window.

    My .gts has this:

    <Poderosa.Protocols.SSHLoginParameter destination="host" authentication="PublicKey" account="account" identityFileName="keyfile_privkey"/>

    Any assistance/direction would be appreciated; perhaps the right answer is a macro, but I haven't luck with that yet either.

    Poderosa tries to open .gts with existing window, but it seems to not work in the 64 bit Windows....
    I'll fix it in the next release.
