This creates a !dir.txt file in the folder, with the files listed by date. The next time I run CR, in Recent books, I do a "Delete record only" on the old !dir.txt file. The (new) !dir.txt file appears at the top of the list in Open file and is easy to open and refer to.
Hello, yes, this is actually a good idea, never thought about it before. I guess if you make a bat file or even automate it it'll give you a new list every time.

Thank you thank you, I guess for now this will work rather well.
