Every time I start Xcode it gives me a window where my recent projects supposedly should be. It would come in handy but unfortunately it's always empty.
Does it have anything to do with the location where I store my projects? I hope not.
Thanks for any help!
By default projects are saved in User/Documents/xCode.
Open a projectClick Open on the Welcome screen or File | Open from the main menu. Navigate to the desired . xcodeproj directory. Specify whether you want to open the project in a new window, or close the current project and reuse the existing window.
You can only open XCODEPROJ files with Apple Xcode in macOS. To open the file, select File → Open....
The command shows or reveals the file you're editing in the Project Navigator on the left. The default keyboard shortcut is Command + Shift + J.
I would think it's because you could have your recent items set to 0 in System Preferences -> Appearance.
Update - If you are using Yosemite the correct path is System Preferences -> General -> Recent items (Thanks to @karim)
EDIT: Based on comments : Then Reboot
@Mellson answer is correct. But there is no menu in OS X Yosemite, System Preferences -> Appearance. It should be, System Preferences -> General -> Recent items. Set e.g. 5 items.
or in command line,
defaults write com.apple.Xcode NSRecentDocumentsLimit 5
However, to my experience the first one works more correctly.
