GfxDesigner: do not open the project in a new Designer when 'My Recent Projects'

Dear Gfx Team,

When opening a project from 'My Recent Projects', could it behave as when [File > Open] i.e. opening it in current instance of the Designer.

If user wants a new Desiner, that could be done with Ctrl+click

    Hello @ferro ,

     

    Thank you for sharing your feedback.

    I will discuss this matter with the team. However, for recent projects, we have intentionally opted to open a new instance of TouchGFX Designer. Therefore, I anticipate that there will be no changes to this approach.

    Could you please outline the advantages of replacing the current project with the new one rather than opening a new instance of TouchGFX Designer?

    Hi @GaetanGodart 

    "Could you please outline the advantages of replacing the current project with the new one rather than opening a new instance of TouchGFX Designer?"

    Certainly.

    I do not need new Designer instance. With behaviour as it is, I then have to close the current/old Designer instance.

    And dont want to search for new project with [File > Open] either - rather tiring.

    What about instead of changing current behaviour (new instance), add Ctrl+click to replace current project.touchgfx. Win-Win.
