Would like a 'Close Project' command.

Anyone else find it confusing when you have a lot of windows open, and maybe more than one project running?

When you want to close a project, the CLOSE command only closes the current window, so it's then not obvious whether you're looking at a different window in the same project, or at a different project. Especially if you've got 2 versions of the same project running simultaneously.

It would also help if the project name were displayed somewhere obvious, rather than just the name of each window.

Agreed, sort of. But if you Close the Floor Plan window, that will close the Project. Sometimes hard to remember.

Agree on the second point, although if you put the Project name into the Project Info it will always tell you the project name at the top of the Navigator.

With regards to the first point, just quit ArchiCAD or open the next file, don't ever need to close ArchiCAD project then. Shouldn't have a copy running that you're not using, simple!

You are talking about the MAC version here?

So when you open the second Archicad on PoorComputer, you can't set a different background?

What is the world coming to?
