Description
Instead of having CloseOpenWindows parameter as a boolean, it could have three allowed input values:
- 0 = don't close windows
- 1 = close windows with same file name as you are trying to open
- 2 = close all windows.
This would allow a user to automatically replace the target file every time Model.Open is called, but keep a reference file open at the side for comparison or similar.
