Help How to get a single instance file shortcut (file manager)

[icetbr]

Hi, I placed a shortcut to a .txt in my home screen, but whenever I click it, it opens a new instance of the file. Anyone knows how to make it open the same version I was working with?

Thanks

I just tried to recreate the problem with Solid Explorer. It saved just fine. What file manager are you using?

Stock (CM 12). Yeah, seems I should try a new one.

Wouldn't hurt.

Tried SE. Still a little weird, but better.
- if I tap the home button then open the file again, it will open a new instance, BUT in a different tab. It will take a while to open it.
- if I hit back button, it will ask to save. When I click it again, it will open a little faster

I would ratter have autosave + consistent behaviour. Will keep looking, maybe I need a dedicated editor.
