The problem is that when you work with multiple files from different projects over the time and have to come back to them later, 10 files is not enough.

In Rhino 9 for Windows, you can change that number in `Rhino Options -> Files`.

It would be nice if you could set the number of recent files to 0 in options and then override it with a switch in the properties of the icons from where you launch Rhino. So you could have either a clientname or a projectname on the icon and only see the relevant “recent files” for that client or project

You have been able to do that on Windows pretty much forever. Just make a new Scheme.

I use Scheme on Windows to do that but can’t find a way to do it on Mac.
