"Recent Sketches" doesn't seem to work here - anything special I need to do?

Yeah, as it is it’s completely useless to me, while in every other software it’s something I use constantly.
So I guess this would go to feature requests then (I’m new to the forum and VL)?

The other posts you linked all have extra stuff or special circumstances in them, what I want is just a simple “recent documents” from wherever they were opened menu entry.

Also, a setting for a user defined default directory could make sense.

Cheers,

Tom
