RapidWeaver Elements 1.4.0 (23889)

I’m doing a lot of experimenting to find how to do things. Once I’m done, I’d like to not get sidetracked with all of the “Recent Projects” which are now listed in the Elements opening pane. Deleting the old project doesn’t remove it from the window. Is there a simple way to do this?

Use the standard macOS menu File menu command and restart Elements 🙂

Thank you - I’d never noticed that this existed!

I put the app in the dock, right click and choose mostly from the bottom selections… most recent 🙂
