Pathfinder: recent files - add right click = scroll to job/library

In the pathfinder interface you have under the 'File' a list of the last 9 divisions or specs that you have opened.
If you just click on one of these entries the system will just open that division or spec...great.
But the left hand window does not get updated to the new path - it remains at the last job or library you visited.

My suggestion is:

  • leave the current behavior as it is - click on any item of the list and that division/spec will open in the xyview/sdedit - left hand window in pathfinder does not change
  • add a right click = move to job/library - right click on any item of the list and selecting "move to job/library" would make the pathfinder left hand window scroll and select that job or library.

This would be a big bonus whenever you have a long list jobs in which you have to move from one job to another. Currently your only alternative if you want to do something else than open up a division that you had previously open (hey you might want to open up another division in that same job - or another spec - or check if a spec is local in that job ,....) is to scroll through that long list of jobs...which feels like a loss of time and effort to me

BTW this is how currently the list of the last opened files looks like:
