When ever I want to open other project it will close current project and open the choosen project.

If I want open it in other window then I have to open more KS then open project. This needs load more step to do. So can us have a popup asking like Android Studio to choose open in new window?

Katalon Studio does not currently support a popup to choose opening projects in new windows (like Android Studio). When you open another project, it replaces the current one in the same window. However, you can work around this limitation with manual steps.

Current Behavior & Workarounds:

1. Native Behavior:

  • Katalon Studio closes the current project and opens the new one in the same window. There is no built-in prompt to open projects in separate windows.

2. Workaround 1: Manually Launch Multiple Katalon Instances:

  • Open multiple instances of Katalon Studio, each for a separate project:
    • Windows/macOS: Launch Katalon Studio again via the Start Menu/Dock or desktop shortcut.
    • Command Line: Use:
# For example, on macOS:
open -n -a Katalon\ Studio.app
# On Windows, simply launch the .exe file again.

3. Workaround 2: Use Eclipse Workspaces (Advanced):

Since Katalon is Eclipse-based, you can use Eclipse’s workspace flexibility:

  • Create separate workspaces for different projects.
  • Configure each workspace to point to a different project folder.
