"Recent" in the Welcome window, where do I find them?

Post by Killahurts »

I like to use the Welcome window to get to stuff I've been working on. But recently, I've been hunting through a lot of old projects, and now it's all messed up. I might have three different versions, all named the same thing.. which is which?

I want to be able to manipulate, i.e. delete certain ones from the folder the Recents reside in. I've look all over the library(s), and I can't find that folder. I sure would like to clean this up. Thanks!!

Well I guess we don't have access to these. I'm hoping the folks at MOTU will add some management functionality into that welcome screen at some point.. has a lot of potential.

I had a look and they're buried in a DP Preference file in an obviously proprietary format that looks like this (these are my recent files). Nothing I'd want to try to edit! :shock:
