Close all tabs = BY DEFAULT take me to BUILD screen

In short of it let’s say i launch gdevelop and it auto open last project
Now if i close all tabs either with middle mouse button or X button on tabs
I end up in Get Started screen

I would suggest to switch it to by default to build screen
I think (and i can be wrong on that) that more users close all tabs to open/work on another project
So it would make more sense to show build screen when closing all tabs

Hello @ZeroX4
Thank you for your topic.

I see that you have your results, and that you have the “Don’t show this screen on next setup” box selected.

Just to confirm that I understand correctly: Are you still getting the “Get Started” screen even after having your results “Quiz” results, and the checkbox after closing all the tabs? That sounds weird to me, so I dunno if it’s a tiny bug.

IDK what results and quiz you mean?

So i just made video showing how this window shows after closing all tabs

However i just want to point out
That i close all tabs i get “get started” screen
But now i click “build” to open a project
And if now i close all tabs i am at build screen instead (which i would expect to happen from the start if i close all tabs)

IDK how to post here videos i made other than uploading them to youtube so here is discord (gdevelop) link to message with video showing how i get kicked back to get started screen

That’s odd.
It seems as if you were getting the “Get Started” section because you placed yourself on that tab. So, now that you’ve changed to “Build”, it will stay on that section.
Would you mind coming back if you manage to reproduce your reported issue? That way we could try to replicate it in our end and spot the possible problem. :slight_smile:

After change where when you launch gdevelop you was asked bunch of questions
For what you use gdevelop games app
And that other question damn i do not remember them but you get which update it was well not so long ago
From that update i always end up on Get Started section
And before it was always on build section
IDK why

So my request is to bring it back to how it was
Where if you close all tabs you get automatically kicked to build tab

But now default is get started tab < not tab but section
So i need to close all tabs then go to build section open some project
AND NOW if i close all tabs i end up on build section
But that works only for current session

If i close gdevelop and open it again then again if close all tabs i end up on get started section

I hope i explained it better
And i am not sure what you mean can i replicate?
It is like that from that update i mentioned and it is not changing at all

To confirm my understanding: You close your app. And when you relaunch it (before opening any project); it always takes you to the Get Started Section, even when the last time that you closed your app you were located on the “Build” section?

I always had in preferences that option checked to re launch last edited project

And when gdevelop starts i see for brief moment (half sec? maybe 1) Get Started section/scree and then it opens that last edited project

And if i close all tabs it goes back to Get Started section and now i need to go to Build section manually to launch another project
And from now on IN CURRENT SESION it will put me in Build section if i close all tabs

But if i close gdevelop i need to repeat the proces

But just for test right now i did uncheck in preferences that option “relaunch last edited project”

I run gdevelop and it opens on get started screen even so i have “Don’t show this screen on startup” checked

I go to Build section open a project i close all tabs and i am back in build section

I close gdevelop open gdevelop again and i am on Build section

NOW in preferences i check again “automatically open last edited project”

I close gdevelop then i open gdevelop again
I see Get Started section for brief moment and then i close all tabs after project launched
And i am back on Get Started section

Seams that auto relaunch last edited project is the cause of the issue

And now i did check and uncheck then check again that “don’t show this screen on startup”

And now it is kinda random

Look i re launch gdevelop few times
it switches to build section on startup but for last time i open it in video it looks like it chock itself and did not manage to jump to build section so i am stuck on get started section
On startup and when closing all tabs
