How can I stop FCPX from loading every project on a drive?

Every time I connect an external hard drive with FCP projects and events on them, Final Cut reads and loads every project which significantly slows down the program and my MacBook. Are there any settings or plugins/scripts that would give you the option of loading only a specific project and it's events and ignoring the others on the drive?

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Move them out of the Events and/or Projects folder!

There is an App that will manage it for you, if you like..

And another way… within FCP, in the Project Library, create a new folder and drag the projects you don't want to open into that folder.
