When opening Pixelmator Pro it always opens the last opened files. This is fine, but when I launch pixelmator from the "open with" prompt it still insists on loading all the last files first, before finally opening the file I actually want to edit. It would make much more sense if the file I told pixelmator to open with was the first to open, and then stayed focused while the last opened files open as separate (unfocused) tabs. That way I could at least do some editing while the other files load. Otherwise, I end up wasting ~30 seconds waiting for other files to open (which I have no intention of editing this session) and then waste further time trying to find the file I actually wanted to open inside of the long list of open tabs.
