When you download a project, it uses a current scratch program

This is really annoying. Just earlier, I was working on a game, so I then went to the website to check for anything new, so I saw something, I downloaded it, and it used one of my Scratch Windows which I had a project that I just started working very hard on and I didn't save it, so it went bye bye :(.

I think all projects when you download it SHOULD ALWAYS OPEN UP ANOTHER SCRATCH PROGRAM!

Very annoying.

Something like this has been suggested before (Tabs in Scratch) but it would take up too much memory.

Really, that happened? Every time I download a Scratch project, it always opens up in a Scratch window separate from the current one already running. Strange conundrum...  hmm

Honestly to tell the truth, it just happened once. This might just be something on my computer honestly  neutral

Yes...that sounds more like it. Maybe the project you worked very hard on used lots of memory. Then when the new project tried to open, there was not enough memory so it had to be open in the current window. Just a thought.  hmm
