Project Manager - "Listed" projects limit... 30? :(

ACADE 2013

 

I noticed that I was not able to list more than 30 projects in the project manager.  Is there a way to increase this number?

I've never tried to have that many projects in the project manager at once.  It gets very busy.  I wonder if you are thinking that the number of projects in the project manager is the limit for the number of projects you can create?  The concept of the project manager is to keep projects you are actively working on at the moment available at your "fingertips".  The idea is to close a project that you aren't currently working on.  Closing a project doesn't delete it.  You can click the Open Project icon (first one in the project manager from the left) and open any project you need to activate for editing, after you have closed it.  Just navigate to the folder for the project and open the folder, then double-click the projectname.wdp file.

Thanks for the reply Doug.

 

I was working on a large project that had 37 projects.  Because of the way to divide our projects we can't take advantage of the project-within-a-project feature (long story).

 

I ran a script to load all of the projects and noticed that 7 of them were missing.  

 

The norm for software is to limit the Recent list, not the actual list of projects and/or files.  It's looking like this is a hard-coded setting. 😞
