Suggestion: Add option to Allways start with no workspaces open.

I know one of the new features of NT7 is that we don't have a default workspace. This makes it now difficult to close down all your workspaces before you exit NT so that upon restart of NT, no workspaces are open.

With NT6.5, before exiting NT I would always close all my production workspaces so that on restart, none of my workspaces would open (The default workspace which was basically blank would open.) The reason I would do this is because if something went wrong with any of my workspaces and NT had trouble loading it automatically when NT launched, NT itself would have trouble launching. You would quickly get yourself in trouble because you could not get NT to launch so you could close the problem workspace (though it was not obvious which one was causing the problem) so NT would not try to launch it every time you tried to launch NT. A nasty little catch-22.

It is very easy to inadvertently corrupt a workspace. For example, if you edited a script that that workspace tries to launch and the script decides to misbehave.

So my suggestion would be to just add a general option that would basically say, Allways launch NT with no workspaces open (no matter what workspaces were open when NT was shut down).

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion I will send this into development.

As a workaround the My Documents->NinjaTrader 7->Workspaces folder, specifically the _Workspaces.xml file holds the information for what workpaces to open, if you deleted this file only the Default workspace will be opened or recreated if it does not exist.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks. That could come in handy someday.
