I dunno. Every time I've saved something it's generated a 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
 
"Music expresses that which cannot be said, and on which it is impossible to be silent." - Victor Hugo
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.

Can no longer bounce to tracks or export audio without Sonar Platinum crashing. Rolling back  Hopkinton to previous version.

Works like a gem and I am loving it...it is very organised and simple to use...This has really made my day!
 
I do not have to go looking for songs to review them or to click every song to find out what it is. I can easily see and detect them. I can tag the songs I am working on or put a list of songs that need mixing together aswell as work on new projects and finish them and move them along. I can now focus on starting and finishing a project, locating it and sorting out a more intuitive way to work. It is great!

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 :-)
