Hello,

Can it be expanded to 15 or 20?

I always tend to go looking for my 11th project and have to manually grab
it.

Thank you

The problem is that the "Get Started" page has been optimized for a
resolution of 1024x800. It's not easy to make the Project Name list
"resizable".

What about using the Pick list (see attached screenshot)? This should
display all your 20+ projects.

LOL!

Never clicked on it.

It's cool - I can use that. Thank you.

Anyway you can breakout the project name so it is easier and quicker to
read?

ie:

The directory/path in one column, the file name itself in another column -
just like recent projects.

Yes, good idea. I'll add this!

Thank you for your suggestion.

I had this similar issue....lots of project files scattered in various
directories.
I solved it with a tree structured "pick" list.

As the user opens project files in different folders I "remember" those
folders.
When they select "Pick List" from my menu I display the attached screen.

The software uses the folder they previously used and uses DIRECTORY to
build a list of files with our file extension.

It has won a lot of appreciation!

Now that looks very cool. Great idea!!!

I fear I have to steal the design of your "pick" list ;-)

I'm sure I got the idea from someone else!
