I know this is a minor thing but I have several dozen designers in my designer launcher. I was wondering if there could be a setting ( or maybe a config file somewhere i could modify) so that the designer launcher will open up to favorites view and list view first on startup.

Thanks 🙂

You can already set up favorites:

Or am I misunderstanding what you meant ?

I believe they are asking if there is a way to make the Launcher open up showing the Favorites tab in List View.

@mcarritt1 I believe there is already a ticket that would "handle" this.

> I like the new “list” view in the Designer/Vision launchers. It works much better for us with a lot of entries. However, I’m finding there is no preference tied to it and it does not persist across launches… something in the works so we can save this view setting into the config json?

@jcoffman Any update on progress for this?

We are working through a couple of design updates to improve the organization of your apps within the launchers and workstation. I don't have a timeline yet, but it will definitely accomplish what you are trying to here. Ill update this post once we get this done.
