List recent files by project

Status: New

Wouldn't it be great if you could list only the recent files opened while in a particular project? I often bounce from one project to another, closing the projects in between.  Thus, I often would like to be able to view only the file recently opened from within a

the project I am working on. Adding a "Recent Files (by project)" to the Getting Started window would be valuable as well.

I'll add my kudos to this idea for LabVIEW 20xx.

 

This is a non-issue for LabVIEW NXG. NXG only opens projects. You cannot meaningfully open standalone VIs because VIs no longer save the paths to their subVIs*.

 

* If you haven't used NXG, this statement may disturb you (it has many customers who've heard about it out of the blue). Please, trust me, this an awesome change. Major benefits. It's one of the changes in NXG that put it on the road toward being a much better editor than LabVIEW 20xx. I wish we could do it in LV 20xx, but R&D determined that the disruption churn is just too high.
