Vw2023 - Allow 'Check for Updates' from Vw Home Page

[rDesign]

Currently with VW 2023 SP0 you cannot select 'Check for Updates' from the Home Page, you have to first Open a file or Create a New file.

 

You should be able to 'Check for Updates' from the Home Page without any files open.

Opening files from the File menu, including accessing recent files, should also be possible from the home screen.

Noticed that too ....

 

I do understand that things like "Add Solid" aren't available without

an open file and such.

But (in other Apps too) I think there are valid needs to call certain

functions already from the start screen ...

 

e.g. looking for Updates, Apps Settings,, About App, ......

^^ This would bring it back to how VW2022 worked when there were no files open.
