Yes, you're absolutely right. In fact, more than just the folder appearing,
the reference library itself appears in the recently opened file list. This
does make SuperBoomerang completely capable of the task of easily reopened
accidentally closed libraries. (I'm pretty sure that it's necessary in
order for this to work, however, that "remember file no matter how
opened/saved" is checked in SuperBoomerang's preferences.)

What I was basing my comment on was that the Open menu item itself, in the
PIM, doesn't have the recently opened file list attached to it directly as
it does in the application. But it's not much more inconvenient, as you
call attention to, to wait for the Open dialog and use SuperBoomer there.

Of course, Niles & Assoc. may want to add this functionality directly (as
Microsoft did in Word) for those who don't have Now Utilities. (Of course,
I'd just advocate that folks got NU!)

BTW, the "banana" is a boomerang!
