I switch in Xcode between working on a lot of different projects frequently (some I’m actively working on, some are old projects where I’m looking up code I want to re-use or quote in SO answers :)), so that part of my “working set” of projects invariably ends up falling off the recent project list. I do use finder tabs for the full working set of current project folders, but I really like the fast switching available using the recent projects list.
Is there a way to increase the length of this list so that I can see more recently opened projects?

where X is the max number of projects in list.
For XCode version below 7, the following worked.
