Start Screen

Good morning everyone, well, it's morning in Europe  and it's a public holiday in the UK
 
I always open my projects using the Start Screen. When I close a project, intending to open a different one, the only way I can see of getting the SS top open again is via File > Start Screen.
 
Is there a way to make it appear automatically once a project is closed?
 
Thanks,
 
Jonesey

    I have setup a Start Screen button in the custom module. It does what you want to do. 

    Best

    That's a good workaround John, but I assume there is no way for Sonar to automatically do this yes?
     
    I suppose Alt + f & t would work as well.
     
    Yep, just tried it, it works.

    Hi, and good morning Colin. I have been using Alt+S to open the Start Screen since it came out.
    But it would be nice to be able to have it open automatically between projects. Maybe global on / off setting?
    All the best.

    didn't it do this at the start and then people complained about it so it was changed to the present way? or am i not remembering correctly? maybe i am mistaken, i know studio one's start screen does it the way you want, and that's how i prefer it.

    Yeah, it was initially like that, but it was so slow to appear it had all kinds of weird side effects, so they changed it. Then they fixed the speed issue, but never added back an option to have it automatically appear. I think it would be good to have back now the speed issue is fixed.

    I have been using Alt+S to open the Start Screen since it came out.

     
    In my case it's Alt+Q, just because the screen was called Quick Start when I assigned the keyboard shortcut.
    Note that the default command assigned to Alt+S is very useful (when you want to quickly solo the currently selected track(s)). 

    Tak T.

    i'd quite like to have it open automatically when i close a project. i meanwhile really like the start screen - especially since it only shows projects that are still present (i.e. it automatically leaves the ones out that I moved to a backup sub directory)
     
    occasionally it seems to reset, though, not showing me all the projects it had before ... anyone else had that happen?

    Hi Bristol-Jonesey,
    I really think that John answer is the simplest and correct way to do it.

    Yes I'll certainly give it a shot. This reminds me that I need to do more with the Custom Module.

    I'm only wondering..... were you a forum member at that time (under a different username)?





    Please allow me to introduce myself

    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    I've been around for a long, long year
    Stole many a man's soul to waste

    And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
    Had his moment of doubt and pain
    Made damn sure that Pilate
    Washed his hands and sealed his fate

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guess my name
    But what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game

    I stuck around St. Petersburg
    When I saw it was a time for a change
    Killed the Tsar and his ministers
    Anastasia screamed in vain

    I rode a tank
    Held a general's rank
    When the blitzkrieg raged
    And the bodies stank

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
    Ah, what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

    Yeah, I prefer to know who is it when someone new to the community talks like "Didn't it.......? Am I not remembering correctly?"
    I would put "Formerly xxx" in the signature block if I were you, or pretend to be a completely new member.

    Tak T.

    In Texas they Just call me Lucifer

    'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

    So if you meet me
    Have some courtesy
    Have some sympathy, and some taste
    Use all your well-learned politesse
    Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
