Analyzing multiple projects at once

Question

Hello, I have to compile a monthly report of my last 2 years of work (words translated, words proofread by month). My work is done 90% in Studio, so it would be awesome if I could use it for this task. 
 Usually, I just select multiple projects in the Project page and I get the total wordcount. However, every time that an Update is installed (about every 3 months) I lose all the projects in the Project page. 
 So, what I'd like to do is to load all of my Studio projects (*.sdlproj) I did in 2016 and in 2017. I tried to simply drag and drop the many *.sdlproj files but the application crashed. Is there a tool to do this? 
 Thank you in advance!

Hi Paola, 
 
I don't have much to add to this thread... a little tricky without using the server solutions we have. But it did get me thinking about additional apps for the appstore. Might be good to have some things that did this: 
 
- allow you to select a folder and then pick the projects in that folder that you wanted to load into the Studio View, and then load them 
- an improved dashboard that could maintain some stats on words translated, by day/week/month, and by client... things like this 
 
Might actually be two fairly simple things to do. Although I think you'd need an export feature on the dashboard to make sure you don't lose stuff through upgrading or removing projects.
