project autoload

[ken_anthony]

This isn't a coding question so I'm not sure where it would be on topic.

I have a project with 14 files so far and it loads every time I start the PureBasic IDE. I've looked in preferences but can't find any switch to turn this behavior off.

I'm so new to PureBasic that I have to test things to learn, but my project is getting in my way.

That's all.

Close the project (from the project menu), then close the IDE. Next time you load the IDE it shouldn't autoload your project.

Preferences -> General -> Auto re-load last open sources.

Un-tick that and apply and ok.

[ken_anthony]

Auto reload is unchecked in general preferences. I did close the project and closed the IDE.

It's baaccckkkkk.

I can not get the project to not load.

[ken_anthony]

I found it. In addition to your fine suggestions I also had to uncheck the set project option, not just the general preferences.

You may also find, that when you have a project open, and its set not to autoload, you can now open another instance of PB (at least on Windows) with a blank window, which makes for easier testing of isolated code.

What I'm doing is just having all files closed except my main file and the other one I'm working on. One instance of PureBasic is plenty since I can open a third file just for testing and it doesn't interfere with the two I already have opened.
