Hi,

I would like to suggest a modification to the "Recent-Files"-selector:
change this control into a listview which would show filename and date
of last access, so that one could sort the list either based on
timestamp or alphabetically.
Besides, when writing a block to a file, I would find it useful if this
file also showed up in "Recent files".

Cheers

Michael

We will consider this suggestion, but no promises. We will allow sorting by name or extension in the near future. However, adding different "views" with/without the timestamp might be more than we want to tackle in the near future.

It has also been suggested that we have an option to display a Project's filename with the full pathname.

That sounds reasonable. Note that it would also show up in the MRU list in the {FILE} menu, which displays the most recent (1-10) files.
