The main file remains set when I create a new project.

[Germano Rossi]

May be a bug?

I have a project open with a main file set and I want to create a new
project.

"New Project" closes all files but the tree remains that of the old project
and the main file is set to the old project.

The same with "Close Project" and with "Quit project".

Windows 7, Build: 20140613 (v. 8.2) - 64-bit

Hello Germano,

What you do is to select the working file.  There are two icons for that, one "selects" and the other "cancels selection".  The icons are on top left of screen, right below the File and Folder icons.   To select working file press the green one, to cancel press the red one.


Cheers,

Erie

Not really as it is configurable.

In the Options Interface -> Advanced -> Event Handlers double-click
on Close Project (After). This will open this event handler macro
and you can now adjust what you expect to happen when you close the
project. By default it does nothing but you will see:

DeleteTree(1, $$0000);
// DeleteTree(UseFlag: 0..1, Flag: $$0000..$$1111);
// UseFlag: 0..1
// 0 delete the tree (as before)
// 1 use flags to select the tasks
// Binary Flags from left to right $$0000..$$1111:
// Clear Gather Control
// Delete the Tree
// Clear File List
// Remove persistent Main File

Adjust the flags in Delete Tree ($$1111 will clean everything).

I believe that there was a discussion on what should be done when
the project is closed (many, many years ago) and different ideas
were presented. That's why I decided to introduce this parameter
and 16 different scenarios can now be implemented by adjusting it.

Best regards,
