There is already a list of the five most recently used files in the Files
menu. No relationship is maintained between a dxp file and its
"offspring." A downside of using the "most recently used" list to access
your recent projects is that if they are in different folders from DBT's
default folder, your next save of any file type or translated type other
than the original which you retrieved is saved back into the default DBT
directory unless you take care to change it. I wish DBT was a little
smarter about keeping a particular translation project in one folder. But,
folks, it's way too late for us to be talking about this kind of
fundamental stuff for a release that is supposed to happen soon.
