Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

I felt this change might cause confusion, but I went ahead with it anyway. As above in the "what's new in this version", the opening window (of choices) is no longer there. All you see is the menubar on program launch (and at other times when something new is started). I know it's not typical mac behavior. Open a file or create a new file and there will still be nothing there but the menubar. One must select a menu item to see or do anything: either show the timeline or (for a new file) enter a new record (event or span) or view the database or import an ical file, etc. Originally this was in case one wanted to start entering new records without waiting for a timeline graphic to be generated. Sorry for the confusion, and I'm not sure I like the change because it gives no up front stimuli that the program is launched (other than in the menubar): perhaps I'll change it back (or forward), but it's this way for now.

Note: if the problem is other for quali or others than this above, then something is wrong (but I've seen nothing myself and quali would have to give me some info to get a handle on the problem).
