Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is any way of getting a hold of the items under File -> Recent Projects or Recent Files?
Neither cmds.file nor cmds.workspace seem to do the trick, and the PyMEL docs isn't showing anything either.
Best,
Marcus

I messed with that at my last studio but I don't remember exactly. It was via actual Mel procs, and not something exposed in the python API, I think. You make need to bust out some whatIs Mel commands to track down the source of that menu.

Brilliant, thanks Damon.
Do you know if there's some reference to which variables are available as option-vars?

Goldmine! Too bad they aren't updated at run-time, at least not some of them, like polyCount. But I can see why and it's still amazing. Thanks!
