New doc on opening Atlantis

Post by Frank Kolwicz »

I've just installed Atlantis on a new machine and haven't used it in quite a while. I seem to remember a setting whereby it opens a new new document, rather than the last one when I start Atlantis, but can't find that in any of the menus. Did I miss something?

Do you mean the "Tools | Options... > Load / Save > Reload open documents at startup" option?

I have that box UNchecked, is it supposed to be checked to stop opening existing docs?

If this box is unchecked, Atlantis would not load existing documents at startup. If you run Atlantis through a custom command-line, please make sure that its does not contain any document filename.

I don't know what that means.

I have a shortcut to the application on my desktop, that's all.

Hi Frank,
Make sure that “Create a new document at startup” is checked on the “General” tab (“Tools | Options…”):

“Reload open documents at startup” has to be UNCHECKED if you don’t want documents to be reopened automatically at startup.

I think you missed my reply to your previous message: both boxes are correctly checked or unchecked, as you stated.

Please, right-click your Atlantis Desktop shortcut, and choose “Properties”. Which command-line is this shortcut using?

What happened to my topic response?

I have the computer setup to open a new file on startup, but it opens the last existing file instead, I want to change that.

You already got your response. Please, right-click your Atlantis Desktop shortcut, and choose “Properties”. In the Properties dialog, which exact command-line is being used to launch Atlantis? Just tell us!
