IntelliJ isn't loading second project from command line
Answered
Hello! I seem to have the same problem as this older post:
The first project loads fine using the ipr file, but the second does absolutely nothing. This has work in previous versions of IntelliJ (going back 15 years or so!) and only started when I upgraded to 2019.1.4.
The other post recommended updating the command line launcher, but I believe that has been removed, right? I'm not using Toolbox either. Let me know how I can help. Thanks.

What OS do you use? Does the issue occur with 2019.2.1 release as well?
A bug report is welcome at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with the logs (Help | Compress Logs and Show in ...) and the steps to reproduce.
Thanks Serge. I use Windows 10. Unfortunately my PC is locked down so I can't test 2019.2.1. I will file a bug with the logs. I did check the logs by the way, but nothing is logged when I open the second one.
Windows never had an option to create a command line launcher from IntelliJ IDEA. Toolbox has this feature, but for the standalone installation you just call idea64.exe (bin directory can be added to PATH for convenience).
Understood. To be clear I have no need for that feature. It was just listed as a possible solution to the other person who had the same issue :

I filed a bug report on youtrack.
Actually, I just found another hint. It's not only the command line. I tried double clicking on the ipr file and had the exact same thing happen. The first works and the second doesn't. I'll update the youtrack ticket. Thanks again.
Good news. I've just confirmed that this is working correctly in 2019.2.2. Unfortunately I can't use that version yet, but hopefully that helps you track the bug down.
2019.2.2 release will be available next week.
Huh? I just downloaded 2019.2.2 from your website... I meant I can't use that version in my company yet.
Oh, sorry, it was actually released today, didn't notice it.
