Feature: "open with last Live Set"

Post by alba63 » Sun May 15, 2022 7:41 pm

I guess this must have been asked a bazillion times, but I miss it every (!) time I work with Ableton. Add it as an *option*, so that those who want to start fresh can do it, but those who automatically want to start with the last used Liveset can do that too.
It is a simple function and anununderstandable ommission since 15 years or so.

PLEASE, ABLETON.

It is a very simple feature and could be implemented as a simple option: a) start with new set b) start with last set
Thus, everybody could choose the option he prefers. I bet many will start the with “last used”.

The lack of this is a real puzzler. I'd think just about everyone would appreciate this as an option. I shudder to think of all the time I've wasted in the file menu to open the same set I've been working on for days. And the OP is right. It's been requested a bazillion times. I'd love to know why Ableton hasn't chose to implement this very common feature. Maybe they have a reason?

I'll raise it again with HQ, this should absolutely be a thing.

If you are on windows and pin Live to the taskbar, you can access recent files via rightclick. You could also attach template files to this.

Could you please elaborate on this (recent files via rightclick)? Thanks!

That works on Windows, but not macOS. Wish it did. But I'd still like the program to be able to simply load the last project.

Thank you!

Update: Actually this doesn't work even when you turn on the option on Windows 10.

This should be super simple to implement. Please do it. Or at least fix it so that you can do it via the OS.

Just want to add my voice to the choir. This would be really useful! :idea:

I know it's possible to create a shortcut or just navigate to where the file is stored (if you're the kind of person that keeps your files neat and tidy), but for such a simple feature it is kind of baffling it hasn't been implemented.
