Requirement to name before opening

Sometimes on set I need to just hop into Resolve quickly. Please give the option in settings to NOT require a project name to open Resolve.

There is already that option. You open the default project that is Untitled Project

This no longer works. If you try to open 'Untitled Project' it asks you to name/save it before it will open.

If you don't have anything already saved as "Untitled Project 1" just click Create. When you are finished and close Resolve just click on Don't Save and nothing, including the default project title, will be saved.

Unless you have live save enabled (which is is by default, IIRC), correct Charles?

Correct. As I often try things out I have Live Save off.
