Create a stack of recent BBEdit items

I work in BBEdit a lot, so I wanted an easy way to access files I'd recently edited in it. To do so, I opened my home folder's Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData folder in the Finder. From there, I dragged-and-dropped the Recent Files & Favorites folder to my dock. It was now a regular stack, populated only with recent BBEdit files.

To change the number of items in that stack, from within BBEdit, open Preferences and select "Application" from left-hand pane. There, change the number for the "Remember the __ most recently used items" setting to whatever you want.

Note: If you use TextWrangler instead, you can do the same thing dragging and dropping the /Preferences » com.barebones.textwrangler.PreferenceData » Recent Files & Favorites folder to the Dock.
