Daveg14 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 On start up on v2 Photo the start page opens Recent is there a way to make it open on the Account option rather than recent thank you David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) For me it does not do this. It opens on Account, New, or Recent, whichever one I last used. But if I use a different pane it will open on that next time. I'm on macOS.

No, but you can set one to File > Open Recent which is different but similar in some ways.

It still takes a little mental effort for me to remember to use Option+O rather than CMD+O but since there is no way to set the apps to default to opening anything but the New tab on start up it is better than nothing. user_0815 and walt.farrell 1 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user_0815 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Yes, that makes sense. I thought about that, too. Then I realised that I never open documents from within an app via ⌘O but only from finder using the mouse or ⌘↓. The exception is Photo 2 since I discovered the new panel which I find really useful. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
