The idea of the modal dialog is that it sits there and waits for you
to tell it what to do.
I would rather it just sat there and did nothing. No dialog.
Why does it have to open a window forcing me to create or open a project?
There is little it can do without a project.
This confused some people, so the dialog was added.
But isn't this what Delphi does? It should be familiar behaviour that
you just have an empty ide and you have to go into the project menu to
create a new project.
You can maybe say that in Delphi you have the html-view where you can
see a list of recent projects and there is a link to start a new project
or open an existing one and that this is comparable to that. It is just
a normal modal form instead of a html view.
I can kind of see it that way, probably. It has a little bit to do with
all the floating windows in lazarus. I think the one window style of
delphi is nicer as well. That way this dialog could be just a panel that
replaced the form editor or code pane when there was no project open.
That would be my preference.
