Creation of a Workspace
An OM session begins with the opening of a workspace[1], a working environment which is used at a session.
OM Start Up Dialogue Window
The OM dialogue window allows to choose or create a workspace. A name and location are chosen by the user when creating a new workspace.Zoom
The start up dialogue window opens after starting OM. It offers three options :
- **
Open a workspace
**
This workspace must already be located in you hard drive. Any existing workspace can be open with this option. Pick the workspace root directory in the dialogue window.
- **
Create a new workspace
**
Choose a name and location in order to create a workspace, which will then open automatically.
- **
Open previous workspace
**
Refers to the workspace that was open at the last session. This option is not available for a first use.

Former Ircam Workspaces
If you already have some experience with OM, note that the Ircam workspaces
whose installation was previously offered are not available anymore. The
tutorial patches contained in these workspaces can now be imported
independently to any current workspace via the Help
menu.

Workspaces Location
Workspaces must be created in the user’s home directory or one of its sub folders. Creating a workspace without writing permission can cause important crashes and data loss.
