Some of my projects disappeared when I opened and saved all the free projects in the Marketplace and other files by Dan/Ben.

Yes, know I can open them in my Elements folder, but I would like to have a longer list or make some of mine favourites or something … @dan

In your macOS settings try adjusting this number to some higher amount. Should work to list more recent projects in the app.
