I'm on master as always ;)
I had assumed the others who were talking about bookmarks and things are also 
familiar with the new dialog, but I could be wrong.

Not really - any time you need to work with a few unusual crses, your 
"favourite" crses will drop off the list.

Personally I don't really have a problem because I only have a couple of 
favourite crses and I can find them very quickly with the filter.  But not 
everyone is like me.

A couple of others have mentioned the idea of bookmarks - I was just suggesting 
a convenient way (pinnable recent items) to implement them without making the 
user interface more complicated than it needs to be.

Of course, for that suggestion to work well when people use a lot of crses it 
would also require either:
- the list length to be configurable (or at least more than 8 items), and/or
- the list to show 8 items (or whatever) + however many favourites they define.

Regards,
Alister
