When you do a New Project, it is "virtual" until it is saved. It means the project structure is initially only in memory.<br>The GUI could as well hide the project interface and let the user open files and whatever. They would still be saved in
a default project's session info but the user would not notice it until he saves the project or opens another one.<br><br>I think "New Project" should then be removed completely from the GUI. All actions would go to a default new project anyway if no saved project is selected.<br>
<br>The benefit of this approach would be that no memory structures need changes.<br><br>Still, this is not a big problem. It only bothers new users while they learn the IDE. It does not slow down the actual programming or any other activity you do in Lazarus. It surely should not delay 1.0.<br>
If someone wants to make a patch for the GUI changes I suggested, I promise to help with it. Then it could make its way to 1.0 release.<br><br>Juha<br><br>
