Random project is stuck under "Recent" heading

Hi all,

One of my projects from 2012 is somehow duplicated and stuck under the "Recent" heading (where there is also "Last 12 Months," "Last Import," "Rejected," "Trash, and a couple other things).

The project also correctly appears in the 2012 folder where I want it, but I can't get rid of it under "Recent." If I right-click on it there, I only get "Export" or "Reprocess Originals." It's no big deal, but I'd like to clean that up and get rid of that project. I would appreciate any suggestions or similar experiences.

Thank you!

Ah, never mind. Figured it out. For some reason, it shows the project that you most-recently double-clicked on in "projects" view. Not sure why, and not sure how that helps, but I understand it now. Thanks for your patience!

OK sounds resonable

That certainly explains it - but I really would not call that feature "reasonable" 😁

Why does the "recent project" only change, when opened in "Projects" view and not when opening a project from the source list? That is not very intuitive. If this is supposed to be a reference to second project to drag images to, then it should be called something like "secondary project" or "destination project". And there should be a more obvious way to tag a project for that purpose then opening it in "projects" view.

Thanks for solving that puzzle, Mark!

Totally agree. "Recent project" should probably be . . . well . . . the project you most recently worked on!! :}

Ditto. Even though I use Projects View a lot, the "Most Recent Project" in the Library Inspector is a waste of a valuable line -- even more so now that I understand how it works.
