Chapter 7 Working With Projects 143
Switching Between Multiple Projects
You can open several projects simultaneously, allowing you to copy or move data
between them, or perhaps to compare different versions of one project.
To switch between projects:
m Choose the project name at the bottom of the Window menu—the active project is
marked with a tick.
Opening and Creating Projects Automatically
You can configure Logic Express to open or create projects automatically—on
startup—by choosing a startup action in the Logic Express > Preferences > Global >
Project Handling tab.
 Do Nothing: As the name suggests, this does nothing. Logic Express is opened and
requires you to create a new project, or open an existing project or template.
 Open Most Recent Project: Automatically opens the project you were working on
when you last quit Logic Express.
 Open Existing Project: Automatically shows the Open dialog, allowing you to browse
for an existing project.
 Create New Project from Template: Automatically opens the Templates dialog.
 Create New Empty Project: Automatically loads an empty project and opens the Save
As dialog, allowing you to name and save your project.
 Create New Project using Default Template: Automatically opens the default template,
and launches the Save As dialog, allowing you to name and save your project.
To determine the default template:
1 Click the Choose button below the Default Template field in the Project Handling
preferences tab.
2 Browse to, and choose, the desired template (or project).
The full path and name of the chosen template or project is displayed in the Default
Template field. You can assign any template or project as the default template.
