can main DT window be made to re-open when I re-launch?

[malcolm]

Hi there,
I have the little box checked in DT Preferences, to “Open windows that were open on quit”, and these windows do open as requested, but I don’t usually use these windows - - I normally use the main DT window. And it does NOT open the same Group that was open when I quit.
Is there anything I can do to make the DT window open just as I last left it?
Thanks,
Malcolm

Malcolm:

That Preferences setting works reliably for me. I’ve been working on a project with a new set of windows in additon to my normal set, and they’ve opened after a quit and relaunch.

When I finish with that project, I’ll close it’s windows. The next time I quit and relaunch DT, they won’t be opened – just the set will open that were open before quitting.

Suggestion: If you continue to have a problem with the correct set of windows opening on relaunch, discard the DEVONthink preferences file, <com.devon-technologies.think.plist>. You can find that file at <~/YourHome/Library/Preferences/>. When it next launches, DT will create a new preferences file. Of course, you’ll have to reenter your preference choices.
