Carlson Settings...

My configuration:
- Data Folder Setup set to Project Folder
- multiple sub-folders setup for the project with data types assigned to sub-folders
- use data folder for settings enabled
- startup settings folder assigned to the location of my company standard settings

I like to save the settings in the project settings sub-folder so old projects don't end up affected by "standards evolution" so my work flow is: first load a standard settings file, save it to the project settings sub-folder and each time thereafter load from the project sub-folder. This way I have all settings used archived and only the settings used.

This would be very easy to do if the Carlson file selection dialogs always contained at least the assigned project settings folder and the startup settings folder in the Recent Folders list. Currently the startup settings folder is not available in the list if Use Data Folder for Settings is enabled in Project Setup.

This is a wish list item, not urgent. Perhaps there is a more logical / simpler way to achieve the same thing that someone else is willing to share?
