I know this is probably on Allan's To Do list, and was mentioned not too long ago by others, but I haven't found the actual implementation discussed anywhere. So here goes my 2 cent worth of ideas.
I think the ideal implementation of this feature is just like the Apple implementation in the Apple Menu's - Recent Items. The applications (= projects) and the files (= TM single non-project files opened) are separated as sub-menus of the menu item. Nice, clean and easy to use.
The settings for the number of items stored in each sub-menu should then be set in the Preferences window, something along the line of what is in System Preferences - Appearance -> Number of Recent Items:
For the past month or so I've been working with 3 projects opened at all times. Then over the weekend I closed them down and looked through some new code from a friend. As a result, I now have to 'go hunting' for the .tmproj files through the Finder. I know, it doesn't stop me from working, but this is just some basic 'spit & polish' to correct a minor workflow problem in an otherwise fantastic app.
Kind regards,
Mats
