CLI: `--existing-tab` not working when two paths are used as argument

The line:

marta --existing-tab "/path/one/" "/path/two/"

will completely ignore --existing-tab for both tabs.

What I would expect would be to apply it to both paths, or the apply it to the first location, with the option to use this to apply it to both paths:

marta --existing-tab "/path/one/" --existing-tab "/path/two/"

There are many more concerns about this parameter on how to find already opened tabs, as previously discussed in the following link. It is currently unable to actually find the appropriate tab that already exists.

I have plans to rework the command-line interface someday so it allows more functionality. ...

However yanex has been radio silent here for a year and I think this project has been abandoned somewhat.

I finally find a file manager which does all I want, and then it is potentially abandoned? 🙁

I see that you have submitted a lot of new issues recently. However, I have about 50 open GitHub issues waiting for replies and discussion, most of them are a year old. I'm seriously considering closing all of these issues because they've been hanging around on my list for too long.

If you think this software is great and worth improving, maybe you can contact and ask the author via Twitter.

Please do not close the existing feature requests. And please file the new ones.

Unfortunately, I had to take some time off because of a few personal problems that affected my productivity. I hardly had spare energy to work on things besides my main job. However, I'm feeling better now, and I'm looking forward to continuing my work on Marta.

Thank you all for your support! It always encourages me.
