From the file menu, I use "open special/favorite folders" a lot to switch between folders of my edited songs. This feature has been locked since BIAB 2016 so that it always has the same list of folders in there. It does not auto- add new folders when I go to them. How do I delete the list of folders and reset this feature so it will auto-add properly?

I see what you mean by the feature being "locked". And there doesn't seem to be a way to "clear" the list that shows up. You CAN however get the list to change to what you want, it just won't do it automatically. You probably already know how to do it manually, but here it is anyway.
In the Favorite Folders window, click on the open folder icon, then navigate to one of the folders that you would like to be in the Favorite Folders list (say, PARTY), and click OK.
Now when you go to File > Open Special > Favorite Folders, the PARTY folder will be at the top.
You'd have to repeat for each folder you would like to see in the list. Perhaps an entry for the Wish List would be to have a "Clear" button, and/or radio buttons for "Favorites", "Recently chosen" added to that "Favorite Folders" window.
The feature is auto-adding my latest folders ok. The last two songs that I've been working on in their own folders are listed. These folders were created only three or so weeks ago.
I use the path shown below to access it.
Also, I've passed on the link to this thread as part of the testing of build #463 so that Support are aware of your and Lloyd's experiences. I have no doubt that they will investigate it.
I did not notice that folder icon before. Yes, that works to add a folder to the favorites list and it solves half of my problem. I'd still like to clear out the old entries that have not changed in over a year. Noel, so your version works automatically the way it should-- the way mine used to work. Maybe there is a text file in C:/bb that I can delete to clear out the list.

I agree. I think that "Favorite Folders" window should have a "Clear" button, same as the "Favorite Songs" window, possibly with an optional popup warning box of "Are you sure you want to clear the contents of this window".

Maybe a good item for the Wish List?

Lloyd: Yes, please add that to the wish list. I just tried the clear button in the songlist and that would be handy.
