Open most recent project on startup automatically

Post by microbe »

It would be great if there was an option to open my most recent project on startup automatically.

Effectively pick up where I left off when I last exited.

Magic supports passing project filenames on the command line. You could set up an icon to load a project you're working on or an experimentation project for example. Magic has some command line switches but they are undocumented except for a couple of forum mentions. I don't think there's one to load the last saved project. Magic (or is it Windows) could be better about its taskbar menu - currently it shows a list of media rather than a list of projects - perhaps this would be more useful change - list recent projects, not media. This means you wouldn't be limited to the last opened but all the most recent. If your on Mac, I don't know, but I can't imagine not being able to do the same.
