Love new Sparks and have recommended to my musical friends.
One feature request please...
I find startup dialog screen a time loss and confusion. I would like to have a setting in the program that would allow to bypass all screen mumbo and take me directly to tab I need. A Pallete in my case. So when a user clicks to open the software it takes right away to tab of choice, no extra screens. Last saved settings.
Same goes for closing out. I really don't want to see another "welcome" screen when I close out. Simple click-goodbye.
Andre can you please consider having custom / easy of startup/closing please?
Thank you!

With 'startup screen' you refer to the thing that presents you with a choice of recent files and new windows to open, rather than the splash screen that is showing the startup progress bar, is that correct?

"thing that presents you with a choice of recent files and new windows to open"
That "thing" with templates, exactly. In the beginning and when closing the program.
I wish there would be a setting to bypass both of these. Very annoying. I would prefer to click on the Sparks icon and it would take me to the tab (Palette in my case), exactly how I closed out of the program. Like silent autosave / "state save" on exit.
Andre, can you pretty please make that option?

Andre,
Thank you for replying. I downloaded latest (Aug 22) version, but double clicking on Spark from desktop still brings splash "starting screen" with choices, same with exiting program. Kindly consider an option to bypass that "choice" screen all together. At startup and exit. So double clicking on icon boots to the last "exited" tab. (Palette in my case)

You need to double-click on an arrangement or other document, not the program.

Andre & Housekeeper,
I am confused. Saved opened pallete as a "file", just doesn't open.
