There is a video documenting the issue currently. It worked differently before 4.0.

"As a user, I only want to open a project file and see the project."

Now it takes lots of clicks to do this, and opening the project takes me to a place I didn't want to go (the homepage with other recent projects).

Furthermore, it still takes longer if I want to play the application, if I want to just click the "play" button.

Expected behaviour:

1. Click on the .qmlproject file
2. Qt Design Studio opens
3. After loading, the project view appears where you can quickly move around (especially the Play button)
