Projects and Editor Workflow · Version 0.5

Project Launcher and Recent Projects

Open Filmstrip through its startup launcher, validate recent projects, browse to another project, and remove missing entries safely.

Starting Filmstrip without a specific project opens the project launcher before the full editor is initialized. The launcher keeps project choice separate from authored content so one project’s registries, history, window state, or writable data cannot leak into another project.

Launcher choices

  • Select a recent project and choose Open Project.
  • Double-click a recent project to open it directly.
  • Choose Browse Project and select an existing data/project/project.json file.
  • Choose New Project to create a minimal editor-ready project.
  • Remove a missing or unwanted entry from Recents without deleting the project folder.

Recent-project history

Recent-project history is stored atomically in the user’s local Filmstrip state. Missing projects remain visible so the problem can be understood and the entry removed deliberately. The launcher validates a selected project before opening it.

Keyboard and scrolling

The recent-project list supports keyboard selection, scrolling, normal button activation, and double-click opening. A large project list does not need to fit on one screen.
