Add two functions to the recent file menu:

  1. Add a folder icon next to each entry in the recent file menu.
    Clicking on this folder will open the "open routine dialog" in the folder containing the routine.
    This will let the user navigate more quickly to the desired folder, especially when the routines are stored in sub-folders
    (e.g. one folder for each product with all routines specific to this product)

  2. Add a remove button next to each entry in the recent file menu.
    Clicking this button will remove this routine from the recent file menu.
    Ideally, the list would have an overhead so that when the user removes a routine, the next older routine gets displayed.

  • I made a small C# app where you enter the partnumber and (if found) it will display the PC-DMIS open dialog in that particular folder. It also opens a file explorer displaying the contents of the part program folder.

    The folder structure I use for this is (first digit in partnumber):

    PC-DMIS Programs/1-
    PC-DMIS Programs/2-
    PC-DMIS Programs/3-
    PC-DMIS Programs/4-
    PC-DMIS Programs/5-

    ...and partnumber folders within these.
