Quick open?

[jkoseattle]

My projects are usually huge, taking over 10 minutes to load because of all the Play instruments it needs to load. That's fine, but sometimes I just want to look at a project to see a tempo marking or a measure number or whatever, I don't want to work on it, I just need to check something out real quick. 

Is there a way to open such a project quickly and tell it I don't need all the instruments to load, I just want a quick peek and out?

Safe-mode can load the project without plug-ins. To open a project in safe-mode, hold the SHIFT key while opening the project. When safe-mode starts, a dialog appears providing the opportunity to skip all plug-ins.

Wow, that was fast. Let me try it out....

OK, you have to hold SHIFT while clicking on the file name itself. You can't select the file, the hold SHIFT while you click the Open button. Works, thanks!
