Default Open project in new tab / File menu

I wonder why there is the "Open new project" and "New project tab", but not "Open project in new tab"? For now I have a custom menu entry named "Open project in new tab".

It would be perfect, if there was the ability to open recent projects directly in a tab, maybe with a middle mouse click.

I have attached the keymap file in case of interest, copy it into your REAPER/keymaps directory.

In the "Open Project" window at lower left there is a checkbox "Open in new project tab".

But what i'm missing too is to open a project from the Recent projects list in a new tab.

It would be great if we got asked as an additional option on the close project "do you want to save? " dialogue

There is... as MichaJo mentions. But it is implemented as a switch on the Open Project dialog, which is not a very good idea. For one thing, it means that Open Project asks me if I want to save the old project even though I may not replace it. This nags me...

Haven´t seen the check box, so the feature is allready there, only not very handy. I guess the save dialog is just for security or just for nagging...

The recent projects for tabs should be easy to implement and would be a logic decision, cause most people will work on a bunch of project they load via the recent project list.

Agreed... default should be to open in a new project tab, and not nag about saving already open projects that are not going to be closed.

+1 for [Recent Projects in New Tab] list.

Fits nicely into my use case - https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=212436
