As mentioned earlier, you can make a distinction between users and developers.

Users (either End-users or Domain Experts) will always work in a project file (*.qpf).

Thus, on starting a knowledge base (*.qkb), these users will always be prompted whether they want to create a new project for a knowledge base, or use an existing one.

When you answer to open an existing one, you get a dialog to open an existing project file. When you choose to create a new project, you are able to give a project name and open this project. When you choose Cancel in this dialog, Quaestor will shut down.

Developers (Knowledge Engineers) are able to open knowledge bases and therefore will not automatically be requested to create a project. For protected knowledge bases, Knowledge Engineers will be prompted for a password.
