When starting LayoutEditor by running the default batch file "layout.bat", a command prompt window shows up (see attached photo) and immediately minimizes itself to the taskbar. It seems like this command prompt window must not be closed if I want to use LayoutEditor. Is this correct? Is there a way to close this command prompt window while I'm using LayoutEditor?

Wednesday 10th April 2019 Your observations are correct. The LayoutEditor entries in the Windows menu and on the desktop start the *layout.bat* file and in that shell the main LayoutEditor application is executed. It is possible to modify the entries in the Window menu and on the desktop to *bin/layout.exe*, however this will disable the use of the OpenAccess file format. As far as i know there is no way working reliable on all Windows systems to completely hide the command prompt window from the taskbar. If anybody know a way, please let me know.
