Pluma open file on a new instance

When pluma is open and I want to edit a new file it opens on a new tab. Instead, I want to always open it on a new window. How can I achieve this? At the moment I have to right-click on the new tab and select "move to new window".

Thank you

I don' t see anything in preferences, but you can take the new tab and pull it of for a separate Pluma instance, just like a web browser tab.

Here are two open instances on my desktop.

I've found the following solution at this forum.

Edit /usr/share/applications/pluma.desktop
and change Exec=pluma %U
to Exec=pluma %U --new-window

Every document opened with pluma will be on a new window
