in project : modification date column?

[davos1]

Hi,
Often, when I open RB and go to Projects I have the same question: what was the filename that I was working yesterday or a couple of days or last friday?
As the projects colum only displays only 10 projects at the same time I have to go and look for the name of the files that I working.
Is it easy to add a colum with the modification date of the project?
as in any finder ;D

I'm not sure what you mean. What shows only 10 projects? If I click on the open project button I see a scrollable list, or are you referring to something else?

yes,

that scrollable list with 10 items at the same time, maybe the number is too small because when rb loads for the first time it has 33 projects, so each time you add a file it is getting more complicated to search for the file that you worked days ago in a window of 10 items.

Is it possible to increase the number of files from 10 to 30 items at least? if not, is it possible to do manual resize of that window?

on the other hand, is it possible to add a date column that displays the last modification date of that rb project? ;D

(now on mac I have to go to finder, and go to the projects directory, and display it by modification date, and then return to the projects window in RB to select the file)

thanks a lot

Sure. Suggestions are welcome of course, but I wasn't sure I understood what you meant.

Hi, maybe a listbox with 2 colums showing something like this:

Project	Modification Date
.DS_Store	09 Feb, 2009
1adec_project	03 Jan, 2009
30cuadros_project	28 Jan, 2009
abe_project_project	06 Feb, 2009
asfunc1_project	09 Feb, 2009
avionics_project	17 Jan, 2009
bug_project	02 Jan, 2009
another project	02 Jan, 2009
..	04 Jan, 2009
..	03 Jan, 2009
..	01 Jan, 2009
..	09 Jan, 2009
..	14 Jan, 2009
..	24 Jan, 2009
project 29	4 Feb, 2009
project number 30	05 Jan, 2009

Changing the list to add columns could be a little complicated. An easier solution may be to add a drop-down list to change the sort order: Name, Modified date, Created date.

ah, I am wondering if it is related that listbox accepts only unidimensional arrays? I tried to create an array$(n,2)
and set in array$(n,0) the filename and in array$(n,1) the date.. and maybe a default value in array$(1,0) but I got the unidimensional message...
