Open App
Introduction
To open an app in Mendix Studio Pro, do one of the following:
- Select File > Open App
- Click Open App on the Studio Pro landing page
The Open App dialog box opens. You can select an app from your apps, open an app locally, open an app from a private Git repository, or import an app package:
Apps can be located on the Team Server, on another Git server, or on the local disk. When you open an app from the Team Server or another Git server, Studio Pro checks whether you have already downloaded it. If so, Studio Pro opens it. If not, Studio Pro downloads the app from the version control server first.
Opening an App
Selecting an App
You can select an app from the list of your apps. After you select an app, you can choose a branch line to open or click Open in Studio Pro. When you click Open in Studio Pro, Studio Pro opens the branch indicated in the Current Branch column.
Opening an App Locally
To open an app you already have on disk, click Open App Locally in the left sidebar and point to the app file.
Opening a Private App
To open an app you already have in a Git On-Premises Version Control Server, click Open Private App in the left sidebar. Enter the App repository address, credentials for the repository, choose the Development line (branch), and indicate where you want to store it on the disk.
Importing an App Package
You can also import an app package and open it. Click Import App Package in the left sidebar. For more information, see Import App Package.
Preferences
Clicking Preferences opens a dialog box with a subset of the preferences you can set in Preferences. The preferences you can change are as follows:
- Studio Pro Theme
- Default Page Editor
- Rendering
- Clone type
Opening Studio Pro
You can open the full Studio Pro IDE directly by clicking Open Studio Pro without selecting or creating an app. This gives you immediate access to development tools such as the Log Directory and the Preferences dialog box.
