Pin Selected Files to Most Recent Files List

Status: Completed
Available in LabVIEW 2012

Usually there are a select few top-level libraries and VIs that I use to navigate through my project. It is most efficient for me if those items appear in the Recent Files/Projects list on the Getting Started Window and file menu. However, often enough they slip off this list and I have to navigate to them on disk.

 

I would love the ability to pin selected files to the top of the Recent Files List so they'd always be available!

Absolutely! I typically work on only a few projects and VIs, yet the list constantly fills up with garbage VIs I open from the forum... 🙂
