Startup and Update
Overview
The Startup and Update tab controls how Grid Studio behaves when the application starts and how it handles software updates and crash reporting.
These settings allow users to configure automatic startup behavior, update checks, and which project or layout should be loaded when the application launches.
All options apply to the local installation of Grid Studio and do not affect project files.
Launch on System Startup
When enabled, Grid Studio will automatically start when the operating system launches.
This can be useful for systems that are intended to run Grid Studio continuously, such as dedicated control machines or installation environments.
Launch Minimized
When enabled, Grid Studio will start minimized instead of opening the full editor window.
This can be useful when the application is configured to start automatically but should run in the background.
Enable Crash Upload
Enables crash reporting for Grid Studio.
When a crash occurs, diagnostic information can be uploaded to help identify and resolve issues.
This information is used to improve the stability of the application.
Auto Upload Crashlog
When enabled, crash logs are automatically uploaded when a crash occurs.
If disabled, crash logs may still be generated but will not be uploaded automatically.
Check for Updates
When enabled, Grid Studio will automatically check for available software updates.
If a new version is available, the application will notify the user.
Load Last .grid on Startup
When enabled, Grid Studio will automatically load the last opened project file when the application starts.
This can help users quickly continue working on the most recently used project.
Load Specific .grid on Startup
Allows Grid Studio to automatically load a specific project file when starting.
When enabled, a file path can be selected using the File to Load on Startup field.
This is useful for installations where the same project should always be loaded when the system starts.
File to Load on Startup
Defines the project file that will be opened automatically when Load Specific .grid on Startup is enabled.
Save Layout with Document
When enabled, the workspace layout is saved together with the project file.
This means that when the project is opened again, the same arrangement of views and panels will be restored.
If disabled, the editor layout will follow the default layout configuration instead of the layout saved with the project.
