When TraCell starts

TraCell asks what the session is for: a recorded video, the live camera or a saved table of tracks. All three lead to the same window; the choice only opens the right dialog. Try the sample loads the example recording. Untick "Ask this at every start" to skip the question; Edit > Preferences brings it back.
