Make Open Recent menu option more nuanced ...

  • The current construct of Open Recent is dated and lacks appreciation of how users use the app - 
    we work on multiple projects at once
    we create multiple project versions - a strong aversion to losing work is high on everyone’s agenda

    When coupled, these two realities mean that the Open Recent feature’s options to display only the last 10 projects is hugely lacking. 

    I’d like the feature to be more contextual - each project and its variants will have its own submenu with up to 10. We can continue with the current 10 recent projects but these are really, really 10 different projects and not variants. On project names with more variance than baseName + numbered suffix, I believe users will be forgiving if the app treats them as a separate project and this is acceptable for projects involving language variations where the baseName may differ. But for general use-cases, once the baseName is identical and only the numbered suffix varies, they should be treated as the same project, with variants.

    So, 10 -10 for numberOfRecentProjects - numberOfVariants and also 10; because Lionel Messi!  :-)
