Unnecessary "Save Project?" dialogue box on empty project

philbearman · July 24, 2021 at 10:55 AM

Hi guys,

When I am working on an existing show in DMXC3 the first thing I do after launching the software is to open the project that I am working on.

I find it annoying that the "Save project?" dialogue box pops up even though it is just the default empty project so there is nothing that needs to be saved. I know it's only a single click to get rid of it, but it's just an unnecessary obstacle

I think it would be a good idea in the next version of DMXC3 to only show the "Save project?" dialogue if something has been changed since launching the software.

Hello,

this is a known issue and is already adressed by the developers. You will probably see a fix for this in the next major version release.

Regards

Johannes

As a background info about the reason why we always show this dialog: We were scared that we forgot to mark some changes and eventually the work of an user is lost because he or she trust DMXControl 3 to much. Thus, we said, that it is better to have an unneeded save request than loosing some work. But as Johannes said, we are currently working on this topic and maybe this is fixed in DMXControl 3.3.
