    yes I do see that, but I have seen it before, if it's new it must have been yesterday after I updated, I guess it just didn't grab me . . . I'll give it a while and see if that changes . . . no . . . still doesn't do it for me
     
    Just had a mess around . . . doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid, but I'm glad it floats your boat

    I sure like being able to specify sample rate and bit depth upfront, as part of defining the project...ditto not being locked into a single default template, and being able to start projects instantly without needing to name them or specify a destination folder first.

    That I like   don't think I ever had to specify a destination folder, that was taken care of automatically after you set your destination drive/location in pref's, and as you added the name ?

    That's always been possible, if you use CTRL+N instead of File > New or the Quick Start option. But it's obscure, I suppose, and I expect most users didn't know it.

    It is not improvement. It is opposite for me actually. Now I can't fully disable this dialog, I don't need it. I can't set Sonar to open new file right after start, without any dialogs.

    I'm sorry, there is an option "On Startup Load Default Template", didn't know about it.
    But such things must be fully described while updating. I'm not interesting in that Windows 10 information on 10 pages. And real changes were not described at all.

    It was not present in first version of this document, which I have downloaded. Thank you for the updated link. But it doesn't describe "On Startup Load Default Template" changes, it seems that it was enabled, and become disabled after update.
    And now there is no way to disable this New Project dialog. Yes, Ctrl+N is a workaround, but it is less convenient for me.

    I am sure you will get use to it. Of course, there are other ways to create a new projects without using the dialog or CTRL+N. For example, create a seed project and when starting a new project open the seed project and "Save As" under a new name.

    Yes, but I can't understand why if you make something more convenient for some group of people, even bigger group, it is necessarily must become less convenient for others? It was easy to make it convenient for all, just leave the setting to disable this dialog, but no, people must suffer.

    I don't understand the inconvenience imposed by the new dialog. Clicking OK without entering any data works the same as before.

    The difference is that this dialog didn't open at all before, and there was no need to click OK.

    As someone else mentioned previously, you can bypass it by using Ctrl+N.

    I'm sorry for that, all is working as earlier for me, it just took much time and efforts to understand it. There was no information about this changes in the first version of pdf. Also "On Start Up Load Normal Template" is now called "On Start Up Load Default Template", and it was set off after update. New dialog absorbed old template choice dialog. All this confused me much. But now I feel better.

    Remember that the Help has all the details on new functions. The eZine gives a summary of the new features in one place for easy reading, as well as bonus features like the reviews. It was never intended to replace the documentation.
