[Solved] Welcome screen not showing - is it only me? (Stable Build 703)

Solution: Following Eric’s (@ewing) suggestion, I looked at the Simulator’s Preference menu, and all I needed was to change my option. What threw me off was the fact some daily builds displayed welcome screen while other ones didn’t (without me changing my setting). Anyhow, all is good now.

Thank you, Eric!


Original post:

I’ve seen this beautiful looking welcome screen when I launched the Corona Terminal (which in turn launched Corona Simulator) in the past. Oddly enough, I’ve been seeing it sometimes and not seeing it other times. It was on & off depending on the daily build I was using.

Now with the latest stable build #703, when I launch Corona Terminal, I see the terminal window, and Corona Simulator icon docked on my Mac desktop made active, but I don’t see anything else. I need to click on Corona Simulator icon, and then go File > Open Recent and select the project I’m working on (which is usually the last project I opened).

This doesn’t hinder me much (and it’s not a problem for me, honestly), but I don’t think it is an intended experience. Does anyone having the same experience with the latest stable build? Or is this happening only to me?

All I did was install the latest build (over the build #701), by double-clicking on the .dmg file and dropping the latest to the Application folder, and updating the Corona Terminal link.

its happening to me too. No file loaded = no visible simulator [import]uid: 103163 topic_id: 18838 reply_id: 72555[/import]

Go to “Preferences” in the menu. There are two options that control the Welcome window automatic appearance and disappearance. Try changing the options. It might be possible your preferences got in a bad or unexpected state. (You can also delete all the com.ansca* files in ~/Library/Preferences to get a clean start.)

There is also a menu option now under “Window” to manually bring back the window. If you select that and the window doesn’t appear, there is something wrong.
