Description Ralek Kolemios 2020-01-26 01:22:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
Krita refuses to open any .kra files that are launched from a Windows File Explorer window, if Krita is already open.
This includes double clicking, right click > Open and Right click > Open with > Krita
Dragging from File explorer into Krita works as intended.
Opening from explorer also works fine if Krita is currently closed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Double click, right click > Open or right click > open with > krita on any .kra file in windows explorer.

OBSERVED RESULT
The file does not open.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file opens, as it would if Krita were not running.
