Hello John and Mathgroup, This reminds me of something I tried to do about a week ago and failed. I'm creating a directory of Gems and Solid-Advice short notebooks as a memory aid. I tried to hack MenuSetup.tr to add this directory as a persistent member of the "Open Menu" (e.g., Open Favorites...). My initial efforts failed and I gave up; this thread seems to be related. Is there a way to add a "Open Favorites..." menu item that points to a directory? Preferably, it wouldn't involve editing MenuSetup.tr, but if that is the only solution then fine. Further organization of this would be useful as the number of files begins to grow: subdirectories such as MathGems/Graphics/LocatorExamples/ Thanks, Craig On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 3:16 AM, John Fultz <jfultz at wolfram.com> wrote: > On Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:39:35 -0400 (EDT), mante wrote: >> Dear all, >> >> I recently upgraded Mathematica (5.2 -> 6.0.1.0) and, because >> of compatibility problem, I have to continue using 5.2... >> My problem is that both versions share the same -say- "recently loaded >> notebooks" list. >> Is it possible to have two separate lists (I bet the answer is YESSSS)? >> I suspect that one should use *NotebooksMenu*, but this function is >> quite ill-documented. >> Thanks, >> Claude > > You can force 5.2 and 6.0 to have a completely different set of preferences > which would affect, among other things, the recently opened notebooks menu.
