CCSTUDIO: How can I open CCS 20 with no selected folder?

Part Number: CCSTUDIO


Tool/software:

I am new to Code Composer Studio version 20 (Theia based). A very simple issue has been getting in my way. 

Once I have opened a workspace folder, if I exit CCS then reopen it, it assumes I want to open the folder last used. That would be convenient only if I always open the same workspace.

I can see no method to close that folder so I can open a different folder.

If I open a new folder, although both folders are not shown in the project explorer, CCS 20 acts as though both the old folder and the new folder are open.

Under the File menu, there is no option to close the current folder. Such an option is desperately needed. 

Either that or is there a way to set an option to NOT open a folder each time the GUI is reopened?

CCS versions through version 12 ALWAYS gave a small pop-up window asking the user to select the desired workspace folder. What a wonderful feature that was!

    If you right click on a folder in your workspace you can select to remove that folder from your workspace:

    If you save different workspaces you can use the open recent workspace menu to select from them

    If you want to open with a specific folder then you could launch ccs and specify a root-dir

    add --root-dir=<full path to folder> as a parameter when running CCS

    I am running on a mac so doing this was a bit odd as executable are folders... but I found that it worked.

    Regards,

    I experimented with the procedure you recommend. It is pretty clunky compared to the ability to specify a path to a workspace when CCS is started, as is done in earlier versions of CCS, but I have been able to make it work.  Thanks for providing the instructions for changing the workspace location in CCS version 20 AFTER starting the program.
