And how do you think a new user will select several examples without using the select package dialog? And if you enter TheIDE without selecting a package, it will be completely useless.

It's not like you can just open a .cpp file and compile it. TheIDE is designed to only handle packages. And if by some configuration options it can handle traditional building scheme, I propose we remove it.

We could add a hideable help panel to the select package dialog.


I feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall.

I'm well aware that theIDE has to always have a package selected. I'm also well aware that the select main package dialog is used to open a package - I even wrote the help about it (packages, assemblies and nests).

As I already said, if the select main package dialog is optional at startup, the last active package would be selected, or for brand new installations, a "hello world" example package. Newbies would have to head immediately for the "help" and hopefully find a "quick start" topic rather than being presented with a heterogeneous disorganized collection of help topics and not knowing where to start.
