I designed an application with a lot of screens, and now I want to modify it to make another screen become the starting screen instead of screen 1.
Can I do this by modifying the project's aia file
Screen1 is the "root" screen: any app made by means of AI2 starts from there and cannot be renamed or substituted.
Anyway: what you can do is to void your current Screen1 from any operation and to use it as a splash screen, that lasts for a couple of seconds, maybe with a welcome message and a picture. Then, by using a clock set to 2000 ms in the Screen1 initialization block (that fires only once) to switch to the screen that you want to be as the main one.
It's a trick, but it works.
Happy new year !
PS The next app that you want to make with many screens, think about to use "virtual" screens. You can find a lot of posts and tutorials by doing a quick search in the forum...

Your suggestion is very good, but screen 1 has many functions. It would be tiring to repeat all this in another screen.
But I will try to do that, thank you
Happy New Year to us and to you, brother
Ok, I will research and review these topics
- select screen1 in component tree, Ctrl+C if you are working on windows.
- make a new screen, Ctrl+V.
- use backpack to copy all blocks.

These are automatically copied and pasted into the new screen including existing extensions (using Ctrl+V).
Of course, some blocks must be renamed:

Yes but sometimes not all copied when Ctrl +V. I always deleted them all and use backpack to copy again.

Watch out for procedures and global init blocks.
I don't remember them coming along in the Ctrl-V.
