Start Page does not show on open of Clarion 12 EE

Coming back to Clarion after many years “away.”

Is there a way to have the START PAGE open when Clarion starts?

Yes. In the sense that mine does (always has).
So presumably it’s a setting, but after having a look I don’t know which one.
I would guess it’s one of the Tools / Options / IDE / Projects and Solutions.

I don’t see any setting. You can re-display the Start Page using the 1st button on the Toolbar with the Green Down Arrow, or on the View Menu


You could look in ClarionProperties.xml for things named “Start” to see if any look odd. You find that file using Tools Menu item then Open Configuration Directory. I see these.

  <ShowTipsAtStartup value="True" />
  <SharpDevelop.LoadPrevProjectOnStartup value="False" />
  <SharpDevelop.CloseStartPageOnSolutionOpening value="True" />

If you’re set to “Load Previous Project”=True and “Close Start Page On Solution Opening”=True that would close it.

Verify that this is not marked.
