Can't open files without window

#1

If I close the Sublime window I can’t open any files from the Open Recent menu. It’s all empty.

I need to open a new window first and then I can choose open recent.

Is there a way to be able to access Open Recent when there’s no window open ?

If there is no window, how do you think one can access File -> Open Recent ? You need a window open to click on the file menu.

You can repeat like this:

Open a file in Sublime.
Press CMD+W to close the file (this will close the window too but Sublime will still be open)
Press File/Open Recent.

I did but by default, when you close the last tab in Sublime, the window doesn’t close because close_windows_when_empty in the Preferences.sublime-settings is set to false by default. When the window closes, Sublime also closes unless you have multiple windows open.
