Hi there!

The Quick Starter is a really nice way of quickly finding files you have recently (or long ago) worked on.

The handy feature that could make it even more awesome would be to keep track of the date the item was added to the Quick Starter.

Sorting your list by the date criteria could be a nice bonus. (e. g. delete items older than 6 months.)

Thank you!

Note: Topic moved to Feature requests.

Just a workaround tip, file containers are useful and perhaps they could be used also for this, just create new (non-temporary, make sure you disable auto-close file containers in Settings) file container tab and move/copy opened files to this container (drag&drop or F5), then open the file from original location or from file container.

File container tab supports also custom color and custom icon. Original files location will be preserved, of course.

In the donor version it's even possible to copy any focused/selected item(s) to specific file container easily, with a single keyboard shortcut, or a toolbar button, single click. Perhaps you could use Ctrl+Enter shortcut, so you could use Ctrl+Enter and Enter to add item to file container and open file.

It's possible to assign even a custom shortcut for file container tab, using favorite tools, 1-click access to the list too, without opening any additional dialog or window.

Then it's very easy to work with this file container, it's possible to use Automatic views to set default sorting, view mode, etc., even use quick filter or quick search to file specific file. Using sorting by date could be helpful to delete old items easily.

You could not just open file from file container, but also open in internal viewer, or open in editor, thanks to mouse shortcuts even with 1-click.

Hey mate, thanks for the detailed tip!
Will definitely dive in and try it out!
