So when I click on the Rhino icon, I see the start menu which shows me my recent projects. Its much quicker to find it in this ‘recents’ menu as opposed to searching through my folders. The issue is that it takes a few seconds to spot the correct file and in that time, a blank Rhino page opens. The menu stays open as long as my cursor is hovering over it, but in that time a blank page still opens behind. If I do click on a recent project, it will ask me to save the newly opened blank page, and I click cancel. But when I click cancel, it closes it and then just doesn’t open the recent project I tried to click on.
Can you implement some code where it won’t ask you to save a blank project where you didn’t paste or implement some command or even orbit around the viewport?
Which version and release are you using? My recollection is this behavior was previously discussed and a YT item was added. It looks like it was fixed because I’m not seeing it in Version 7 (7.2.20343.11011, 12/8/2020)
Do you have any command automatically running when Rhino starts, or maybe loading a script?
Rhino should only ask you to save if something that adds data to the file has happened.
For example:
Opening a file and drawing a circle, then should ask you to save when you open another file.
If you open a file and just pan or rotate a view, then open a new file, you should Not be asked to save.
Same problem here, as well at closing. I file (ctrl s), don’t do anything other than menu to exit, and get the message about saving file.

John,
I disabled Vray 5 & save message went away.
Re-enabled Vray & save message reappeared.
Will McNeel communicate this with Vray Rhino team, or should I?
thanks,
Glenn
I still haven’t determined when, but one thing is very strange. Again, it doesn’t always happen.
Of course, if I open rhinoceros and the cursor is not in the last used files window, a new file opens. When selecting from the menu “Help”, “about Rhinoceros”, and I choose a file then Rhino sometimes asks me if I am sure to save the empty file with the selected file name instead of opening the file …
I did contact Chaosgroup several times about this but they can’t seem to find a fix for it. So this basically leaves you with two options:
1 stop using V-Ray
2 learn to live with it
Developers always say: give me a way to reproduce it and I’ll fix it, yet this case is probably an exception.
It doesn’t only happen with V-Ray. I have had it happen occasionally on machines without V-Ray installed as well. It doesn’t happen all the time, and nobody can really reproduce it reliably, which is why it hasn’t been fixed yet.
Something provokes the flipping of the ‘document modified’ flag to True and then Rhino automatically asks you if you want to save when closing. But nobody has yet been able to find out exactly what that ‘something’ is. It was thought to be some sort of plug-in related problem, however, if I understood correctly it has also occasionally happened on installs without any non-standard plug-ins.
