Double clicking .mon file doesn't work when welcome window is up

When launching Wavelab, it comes up with the default Welcome window. At this point, it is not possible to double-click a .mon file to open the montage. It would be nice if this could be possible.

I don’t see what you mean. In the startup assistant window, you can double-click audio montages listed there.

Sorry, maybe I should’ve been more specific. If Wavelab is launched and the welcome screen is up, it’s not possible to open a montage by double clicking on the .mon file in Finder on macOS. Also, it is quite usual that my “recent” montages aren’t populated at all in the welcome screen, and I have to create a default project first and only then open the montage.

Sorry, but this cannot be changed. Simply double-click on the montage file before opening WaveLab.
