(Suggestion) When clicking on one of the recent projects it opens without warning even though a project is loaded

Hi team,

After closing all pages and clicking somewhere around the recent projects area the clicked project is opened without any warning. It can be annoying at times. A warning message could be useful.

Hi @koksal.basar,

I am not sure I understand your suggestion. Do you want a warning every time you open a recent project? I feel it would become irritating very fast.

No. I'll try to explain what I want and why I want them.

I want to see a warning if a project is loaded already and clicked from the welcome screen. (The operation done with the file menu not interested me.)

The warning could be like this "Do you want to close your active solution(xxxxx.sln)?"

If someone (much more careful than me) thinks this is irritating stuff can use a "don't show" option (This is an additional suggestion :slight_smile: ).

I try to be careful but I still find myself in a different solution after closing all pages. Because only one click is open one of the recent solutions.

This is not the same process as the followings:

  • File --> Open Application --> Select a sln file
    or
  • File --> Open Recent --> Select a recent application.
    In this process, you know what you did and it can not occur as a misstakenly.

You can try the following steps to regenerate my experience (note: I'm working with a multi-monitor or wide-screen setup. Maybe this is a problem for that, for me.).

  1. Open RBS and select a solution (This will simulate the moment after all pages are closed.)
  2. Open another software and placed side by side with RBS.
  3. Select the second software's window (VS Code for example). (You wrote some code like me in VS Code.)
  4. To go back to RBS you have to select the RBS window. Click around the center of the RBS window one of the recent projects will be opened without warning.
    So this is irritating for me :))

I hope I could explain this time and hope you do not decide this is unnecessary. :slight_smile:

Thanks for elaborating. We will probably add an option in the settings "Show welcome screen" which will disable the entire screen altogether. Having a warning dialog with an option to disable it is harder to implement.

I can understand some suggestions are far from your road map.

However, I would greatly appreciate you try to find a useful solution. This solution will work for me. I hope some other developers like me find this solution useful.

With today's release v1.16.0 Radzen Blazor Studio will automatically hide the recent applications list as soon as the user opens an application.
