Friedrich,

At one time you mentioned that there would be improvements made to the
pick list. Call me crazy :).. I would like total control over the
list, like adding ability to add/remove an item, move it up and down
in position, etc. In other words, have complete control over the
list, including not having recently opened documents added, since
there is already a recently opened list in the menu. If that's too
much maybe at least the features like SB4. Also the option to have it
displayed when SB5 is launched. As someone who maintains a lot of
small app's this would be really handy.

Thanks!
Kelly E Major
