Description
It would be great if Processing didn't need to open a second window if you run it first, then load a project (either directly or using the "open recent" function).
Expected Behavior
Loading a project with an empty editor loads the project in the current editor instance.
Current Behavior
A second Processing instance is created for the loaded sketch code.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open processing by directly running the application
- Load a project
Your Environment
- Processing version: 4.0b8
- Operating System and OS version: Win10 pro 21H2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the Processing application: launch it with an empty editor, then load a project directly and through “open recent.” Trace the editor-window handling for those entry points and make the existing window load the sketch when it has no code; done means no second Processing window is created while normal loading still works.
