Datagrip opens into default project instead of bringing up project list?

Hello.

Anyone else noticed this? I have the feeling there has been some change in the behavior of DataGrip upon opening? 

I have some default project located somewhere in users home directory and another project with different databases in it. Let's call it “MyDatabases”. I usually work in this project and not in the default, so when closing i usually close DG from within this folder.

The configuration for “Reopen projects on startup” is disabled (same as I have in IntelliJ), because usually I want to select the project on the Startscreen. But with this option disabled although when DG is closed from within MyDatabases, it will alwalys open up into the “default” project. Shouldn't it behave the same like IntelliJ and bring up a screen to select the desired project?

It must be something that has been changed with latest version or so because I can not remember that DataGrip ever has opened directly into the default project.

When I enable “Reopen projects on startup”, it will open into the last open Project, so also “MyDatabases”. But this is also not what I want.

DataGrip Version is 2026.2.4
