i have saved a new project and I have checked the way i saved the projects ; still cannot see.  I just don't understand why i can not see the thumbnail

I have CCC set to the 24 hour interval, I haven't started it since last update (1.1.1.20) When I opened CCC it showed no updates available, just a matter of clicking the 'check now' or whatever it is, and the updates showed, Platinum, core plugins and Local Doc's.
 
As usual installation was smooth and painless, I really like the new start screen and all that is associated with it, I even like the tips, and not only do you get tips, but little ditties like this

Nice, I like that, looking forward to more Doesn't seem to make much of a difference on start up, even if it was a second or to it wouldn't be an issue to me, that doesn't bother me, 30 to 60 seconds might bother me though.
 
The thumbnails work fine, as has been said, just save the project, and there it is. Would love a small audio snippet on mouse over, for people like me who have a good few projects imaginatively titled such as Song 13, song 24 etc   that would be awesome 
 
The little notifications/news thingy up in the right hand corner is fine, to me very unobtrusive, reading some comments around the place I had a picture in my mind of something that jumped out and smacked me in the face saying 'here I am, read me'. I like it.
 
Looking forward to checking out all the other stuff, templates etc.
 
Great stuff, thanks all

I can't figure out how to disable the new start screen?

Preferences- File- Advanced - Show Start Screen at Launch
 

Bypassing the Start Screen

If you’re in a hurry, type Ctrl+N to open the favorite template immediately, without seeing the Start Screen first. However, this requires creating a project folder manually when you save; see New Preferences for details.

New Preferences

You can control SONAR’s behavior when starts up with additional preferences under Preferences > File > Advanced.

• To open SONAR to an empty project and choose what you want from the Start Screen, uncheck “On Startup Load Basic Template” and check “Show Start Screen on Launch.” This provides the greatest flexibility on startup.
• To always open with your favorite template and bypass the Start Screen, check “On Startup Load Basic Template” and uncheck “Show Start Screen on Launch.” Because you don’t have to name the project, this offers the fastest way to get started if you usually start with a template. However, note that in this case file management is under Windows and not SONAR, so to create a per-project folder you’ll need to create a folder and choose it when saving. This is also the case if you create a new project by typing Ctrl+N.

@Forestdweller bounce to track working here.

I really like the new start screen, but does it need to reappear once a project has been loaded ?...
 
 
1. Open Sonar
2. Select the desired project
3. Project loads
4. The start screen reappears
5. Cancel the start screen
6. Get down to some music
 
(Apologies if this point has already been addressed)
 
Apart from this minor niggle, Sonar Platinum still loads in around 4 secs :-)

(Hopkinton) Sonar stops responding when I try to add a new track.
 
I was working on a project since morning in (Gloucestor), all was well.
Upgraded to (Hopkinton) during lunchtime, after that could not proceed any further with the project.
Sonar stops responding after some time...
 
...Update......
Problem Solved. (it worked just fine the next day I started working on it...)
Hopkinton working great now....

FWIW I have this problem too. I left my setting to check after 24 hours. However, it will never check. It didn't work on Windows 8.1 nor Windows 10. It is an easy workaround for me as I only need to go to settings and press the "check now" button.

I would like to give you specifics but I don't know what you need to know. It is a very minor issue for me but maybe not for others.

Thanks guys. So, it's not so much the [Check Now] button that is failing to fetch, but more so that it's just not respecting the interval.
 
If you don't mind and you're up for it, I'll reach out over PM and see if I can get some more details from your systems.

I am seeing this also. I've seen unpredictable display of the normal "File-Open" dialog, also, when using the "Open Project" button on the start screen.
 
So far, nothing too annoying. It would not surprise me if there were a minor bug here. I'll try and come up with a reproduceable series of steps.

lulz... here I am trying to avoid auto thingamajigs while others expect stuff to show up RIGHT NOW ALL THE TIME!!!
 
Can't win eh, lads?

Hi Beeps...

Yeah, it's a slowly changing scenario...

In the past, we needed every ounce of power for the DAW and all the scheduled things such as checking for updates drain power and can happen at less than optimum times...

But as PC power continues to increase and bandwidth as well, permit many people to allow these smaller drains with no hindrance to work...

I myself keep them off on most of my machines but I've begun to allow a little here and there and finding no problems...

So one day soon (?) we'll all be able to enjoy these conveniences... ;-)

Hi I haven't seen anyone having the problem I'm having, My start screen is completely blank, No recent project icons, no templates but if I click on existing projects my folder comes up. The start screen was working fine for the first few times I was opening and closing projects, I'm wondering do you have to be connected to the internet for it to work? I only connect my Daw computer for updates. I really like the start screen and would love to use it, also I'm worried about the templates I have created not being available.
Thanks Guys,
Andrew

I am having the identical problem.  My system is off line also.
 
I've got to do some more investigating and hopefully I will find the problem.  However I have a ton of things going on now so it may be a little while before I can start.

Nice...I like it
