Pathfinder; Sort Profiles by Recently Used
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder V5 PC's.

What's new The Profile Library has a new Sort By option in the left-hand panel, below the View section:

Name — the order you're used to (default). Recently Used — the profiles you've worked with most recently appear first. How it works Every time a profile is loaded — picked from the Profile Library, or pulled up by scanning/typing a part number in the search — Pathfinder records the date and time it was used. With Recently Used selected, the library always shows your latest work at the top: load a profile, and the next time you open the library it will be first in the list.

Your Sort By choice is remembered, just like the Display size and View settings — it stays selected after closing the library or restarting the machine.

Sorting works together with the existing filters and search: whatever profiles match are simply shown in recently-used order.

What to expect on first use The machine starts with no usage history — Pathfinder wasn't tracking this before. Profiles you haven't opened since the update appear after the recently used ones, newest-created first. History builds automatically as you work. After a normal day of running parts, the list will reflect what you actually use. Copying or editing a profile doesn't affect its position — only using it does. For technicians Ships in the next Pathfinder 5 release. No configuration or parameter changes are needed. On first launch after updating, the local database updates automatically (version 4.13). This happens once, during startup. Usage times are stored per profile on the machine's local database and apply to both local and shared (Edge) profiles. Rolling back to an older Pathfinder after the database has updated is not supported without restoring a database backup, same as any other database-updating release.
