User is always asked about opening new project in windows after send\receive

Question

One of our users is always asked if she wants to open new projects in new windows after she does a send\receive. Is there an option to turn that request off?

She said ‘yes’ once thinking that this might flip the right switch, but it asked about the same projects again after the next time she restarted Paratext.

Answer 1

Until lately, we’ve only had a few people report on the problem, thus it was a very low priority. Since more people seem to be hitting it, I’ve gone ahead and increased the priority since it should be a very simple fix.

Answer 2

This was reported as a bug over a year ago (Popup when send/receiving 11 or more projects) but fixing it seems to be low priority, probably because it doesn’t cause any actual problems.

Saying “yes” or “no” doesn’t really affect anything either direction, so it’s just an extra button you have to click after doing S/R.

Funny – I just wrote about the same thing at Guide: File > Send/Receive Projects !

Answer 3

This bug is both confusing and a time waster.
It can’t be that hard to remove the dialogue. Based on its reach (it affects all users, often several times a day) it should perhaps be a higher priority to fix.
