Recognize duplicate windows

Hi Jean,
While using QAP more frequently, I've noticed that there are some more features that I would like added
. Hopefully it does not bother you 
. I always like to come up with features that I would like added to the application I am using 
.
When I have two same instances of the same program open, for example, two Windows Explorer windows opened with the same directory/address, it does not recognize the two windows opened in the same directory when I use the "Current Windows" context menu option. It only recognizes it as one window open. A great addition to the program would be to be able to view the duplicate instances so that I can choose which one I'd like to open, as well as have an extra feature to close all duplicates instances. This is for if I have many windows open and would like to quickly manage and close instances/windows of Windows Explorer.
Thank you for listening to my suggestions,
Benjamin -

Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your input.

Yes. But does it happen that often that you have multiple windows open in the same folder?

This is not exactly what you ask but you could take a look at the "Close All Windows" QAP feature where, as its name does not say(!), you can choose what applications windows to close.

Yes, this feature is sufficient. This was the feature I was looking for. Thank you.

No, you are right, it does not occur often to me, but, if you'd like, you can add an extra option to enable/disable where the user will be able to view duplicate instances in "Current Windows". Anyway, as you said, this does not occur very often, and I think you could just leave the "Current Windows" feature the way it is. In fact, it might even look less cluttering and organized if it doesn't display duplicate instances.
Thank you,
Benjamin
