Load last project on start up bug

Open reaper. Set "Load last project on startup" in preferences > General. Load a project from the open dialog. Save and close the project and reaper. Find a different project on your computer and open it by double clicking the project file. Save and close project and reaper. Open Reaper from the standard reaper shortcut or exe. Reaper will load the last project you opened from the reaper dialog and not the project you opened last from clicking on the project file. Discuss? Vote here :

I would also see it as bug.

I try it again: Imagine you are searching your projects (because you don't know what idea hides behind a cryptic filename, you're searching for a special passage or just want to listen to them). You can do that via filemanager without leaving traces unrelated to your actual work. Or imagine you fire up an empty project to test something quickly, wouldn't you hate it when this displaces the project you were working on 5 minutes ago and you want to continue working on in 5 minutes, making you browse to that project instead of just clicking the normal Reaper desktop shortcut? The way it is now, you have a choice what gets remembered (without introducing yet another option) just by choosing how you open it. Removing this would be "dumbing down" the behavior IMO, whatever you touch gets remembered even if you don't want to. I assume it needs additional code to make an exception for the "recent..." list so that wild opening of projects wouldn't mess it up.

Fairplay Steindork I see it as a bug to my work flow but to yours it's a feature. Maybe a tick box to change behavior? I can live with it how it is right now if need be I was bringing it up to see if it was intended behavior or if it was a bug. Worth discussing though :)

No worrys steindork Like I said, it's my first point reporting a "bug" so I wasn't sure on the process Next time I'll post here before putting it in the issue tracker
