Description Ian Balchin 2014-09-04 20:52:16 UTC
As one prototypes and hacks around a large number of projects accumulate for selection on the Welcome screen. There needs to be a (right click) function to remove these directly. At present one has to manually edit a file to delete them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Kexi which defaults to the Welcome screen
2. analyse the number of unnecessary entries there
3. compute if these are needed or unwanted distractions
4 if you are a newbie, search in vain for a way to delete the unwanted items.

Actual Results:  
I have to dig into the file hierarchy every so often and clean up the file.

Expected Results:  
Right-click on unwanted icon, choose Delete. (delete this link, that is, not delete this database)

now where is that file ??

Good suggestion, Ian. Thanks. I am considering a list mode for the screen so longer names can be presented and in a more compact way.
