I am pretty sure I have the same feeling as Micha, that something sometimes is going wrong. I end up with a template (or default project??) which holds layers from an earlier project. But I try to reproduce now and I can't. Only thing I see is that if I use the 'create new project from default project' from settings/options/general (after setting the current project as default), I see a 'project_default' in my 'Project/Open Recent' list... So it maybe that I sometimes open that one... and as it is not a template, it just opens as the default project and I save stuff in that one... So maybe the concepts 'default project' and 'template' mix up? There is also the 'Open project on launch'/specific project which you can set... I understand all are more or less different, but maybe that is too much concepts for the average Joe like me? What is a 'default' project: is it a 'give me always those reference layers-TEMPLATE or is it a template I always work on (which you then (partly) can set with 'Open project on Launch' What about: - remove the 'set current project as default' stuff from the settings - our old 'new project' icon (the white sheet) get's that little drop down sign next to it, and: - clicking the new project shows a dropdown with the templates Any interaction guru's here?
