Nationalsolo Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi NCH I find it quite annoying and frustrating that VP loads the previous project automatically when it is opened. Is there a setting to stop this happening?? If you just want to load a couple of clips to check on something or to revue the latest output from your camera, you have to wait until this process finishes. I may have several projects on the go and may not want to work on the last one I had open but currently I still have to wait while it loads! The VP version splash screen which comes up for several seconds at the start covers the loading project screen so you can't get at it and then behind this, in my version at least (VP 6.01) the VP Welcome screen appears with choices and a list of previous projects as it always used to. Nevertheless the previous project continues to load in the background even though in previous versions I could easily select it from the Welcome Screen if required as it was at the top of the list. As shown above VP can still be loading the previous project which is not wanted. This can take some time if it was a large project and the cache had been emptied since VP has to load it all in again. Once the Splash screen has vanished, clicking "New Project" from the Welcome window can lead to a hang up of the program as behind this VP is still loading but if a hangup doesn't happen the "Restarting Threads" window appears followed by "Stopping queue Process Threads" window. This is all unneccessary. Previous versions just loaded VP as an empty GUI and then put up the Welcome screen with the Load Project options. Logical and intuitive. Can we go back to this? Anybody else find this a bit annoying? Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Nat, In the registry editor, drill down to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NCH Software\VideoPad\Software On the right pane, right-click on Svar, then click on Modify In the long string you will see VIDEOPADOpenRecenton Change just the ending letters "on" to "off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hi Borate Many thanks! That works! I very much appreciate that post! VP now opens just as it used to in earlier versions. I guessed it would be a Registry entry somewhere but wasn't sure where it would be. I really don't know how you found it. I already went through everything that looked relevant but the string in question was longer than the containing pane and that section wasn't visible. Thanks again!
