Digital Workshop

Hi, I've got this checked in the options, but they don't load.... I have to find them from Recent pubs each time.

How do I get this to work?

Thanks, Linda

Linda,

I am not sure I understand.

But I'll take a 'shot' at it from my experience.

Let's say I am using Opus EDITOR and have 3 Pubs in the workspace. Pub A, B, C.
When I launch Opus next time, as long as I Click 'Cancel' on the opening dialog (and not create a new Publication), all of the previous 3 Pubs open in the workspace.

-- If I had Clicked, 'create new Opus Pub' or whatever that button is -- Opus would open the workspace with ONLY the single, New Pub.

So in my practice, I always Click the 'Cancel' at that point, and then click the Toolbar Icon to 'Create New Publication'. That way I preserve my working set.

To prove this out, go manually Open a few 'recent' Pubs and Exit the program. Follow the above routine and I'm sure you'll be back in the zone.

Cheers.

Yes, that's what I expected to happen... and it did until one of the recent upgrades, but doesn't now.

Thanks for confirming - I'll have to do a big uninstall I suspect - perhaps there's something corrupt.

Before I do that, what was the key press during start-up to reset everything?

I think it is Ctrl + Alt, but you can to a search to verify.

As an aside, I recently had a PC infection that did some strange things... even Windows Restore did not fix the issue. By 'issue' I mean, one of my applications is a journaling tool (notetaking). It has a built-in back-up command, which now no longer works. It lost the path or the ability to track changes. I've got to reintstall I think to fix that. Whatever took place got into the Windows registry and jinxed some things. This is July-Aug '12.

You might try a Windows rollback / restore if you have not added other apps or updates in the last few days... it might just resolve some idiosyncrasies. Good luck.
