I usually work with two or three IDBs open at the same time which are linked between themselves (basically the main .exe, and DLLs it loads).
However, every now and then I open different files to take a look, and my "recently used IDBs" quickly gets filled up and the IDBs I work with disappear.
Is there any way I can make IDA stick those IDBs at the top of the "recently opened files" so I can access them easily?
Assuming you're on Windows, you could write a script that regularly restores HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hex-Rays\IDA\History.
On Linux or Mac OS, I'm sure there's something similar than can be easily restored via a simple script.
Exec(). However, by the time it's executed IDA will likely already have read the registry info. Why not replace your IDA shortcut in Windows with a batch file that restores the registry entries and then runs IDA?
