Startup
Choose whether you would like DEVONthink Personal to open a fresh main window on startup, open all windows that were open when you quit DEVONthink Personal the last time, or do nothing. If Open all windows that were open on quit is selected, DEVONthink Personal also opens all databases that were open on quit.
Note: Even when you tell DEVONthink Personal to not open a window on startup, it will always open at least one window when you open a database.
