# Changing the behavior of new windows

You can choose what is displayed by default when a new Transmit window is opened: a connection panel, a local folder, or a favorite. Additionally, you can choose to connect to the selected favorite automatically.

To change the default behavior of new windows:

##

1. Choose Transmit > Preferences...

2. Click General

3. Choose your desired option from the "Windows open with" popups

The left popup affects the left file browser, and the right popup affects the right.

(Transmit can be configured to display just a single file browser per window. If it is configured this way, you will only be able to set one of the two popups.)

Choosing None will result in a connection panel being shown in the corresponding browser when a new window is opened.

Choosing a favorite will display a connection panel with that favorite pre-selected in the corresponding browser. If you would like to automatically connect to that selected favorite, also check Connect to favorite on startup.

Choosing a local folder will display that folder in the corresponding browser.
