Feature idea: Recent Measurements

[Pneumarian]

I. Sometimes it would be convenient to switch rapidly between several different measurement files to see if a relatively simple pattern is formulaed properly for slim & stout, tall & short.

A. So I was wondering about integrating a Recent Measurements section to the Measurements Menu, like the recent files section of the File Menu.

B. Conversely, having the Measurements folder tree in the menu would also be convenient.

i. It would, of course, still need to have the option to use the current file browser to find items not in the assigned folder tree.

I think I mentioned some of this elsewhere, but I’m not finding it, so I hope this isn’t too redundant. Possibly I merely thought of it when we were discussing integrating Me into 2D, & failed to mention it. It’s one of those features which, although I like the idea of a standalone Me, makes it obvious to me that most of the time it would make more sense for Me to be redundant.

Can I assume you mean to insert a recent list - of say the last 5 - here?

Certainly doable… we can just copy the same logic of the 2D files of adding the files to the menu and saving them to the settings.

Hmmm… difficult to assess. Remember that the path to the measurements can either be one of the default measurement “paths” or the last opened path that may differ from the default paths. I vote for option A.

Working on some ME new multisize featues * reminded me of another BIG reason (from a programming standpoint) that I wished ME would have just been integreated into 2D as 1 app… that is you can 't run the debugger on ME.
