open sketches in the current window, if no code has been written yet

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

1. Open processing by directly running the application
2. Load a project

Your Environment

• Processing version: 4.0b8
• Operating System and OS version: Win10 pro 21H2

Possible Causes / Solutions

Empieza reproduciendo el comportamiento en la aplicación Processing: iníciala con un editor vacío y, después, carga un proyecto directamente y mediante «open recent». Traza la gestión de la ventana del editor para esos puntos de entrada y haz que la ventana existente cargue el boceto cuando no tenga código; se considera terminado cuando no se crea una segunda ventana de Processing y la carga normal sigue funcionando.
