Title: Workspace suggestion
Post by: sethjackson on August 02, 2006, 12:15:14 am
If you open a workspace it gets added to the rececnt project list.
In my opinion it would be nice to see a recent workspace menu, which would contain the most recent workspaces. :)

BTW the same goes for the "Start here" page. ;)

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Good or bad idea?

Did you notice that the list of projects does actually include C::B projects and C::B workspaces?
I think the label "project" has not the meaning of a "C::B project" but a "development project" in general. If you think in these terms it makes sense to present C::B projects and C::B workspaces together, because a "development project" can be a variant of 1..N "C::B projects"... ;-)
Finally you would loose the space for a "development project" for the additional workspace label and make the File menu even bigger than it is already. Please note that these are only my thoughts.
With regards, Morten.

Edit: On second thoughts: How about renaming "Recent projects" to "Recent workspaces and projects" for better clarification?

Ok that makes sense. :)
