FCPX 10.1.1 (and 10.1.3) features request

Please have FCPX open a Library with what was previously loaded into the Timeline, not a random Project.

If that's not possible (sic.) please just load with an empty Timeline.

Also add a Close button to the two "Timeline history" arrows.

And as a matter of fact, it would be just fine to have a "Timeline history" window/tab added to the Timeline Index.

As to show: Clips/Tags/Roles/History,  so that one can choose in which order and what to show in the said "Timeline history" -- Instead of, or in addition to the arrows.

Relative to this issue, open Projects and Compound Clips seem to be closing and/or disappearing from the Timeline History at random. Please explain or fix this behavior.

- OK it's not exactly at random:

1) If I go backward with the arrows to the first thing opened in the Timeline, and I open something that's not already open, everything closes but the very first thing opened, and loads the newly opened thing... I don't get this, close everything but the newly opened thing.

2) If I go to wherever position relative to the arrows, and open something new, it closes all things forward... Whaaat? What's the logic behind this?

3) If I go forward with the arrows to the last thing opened in the Timeline and I open something that's not already open in the Timeline, everything stays open... That's actually OK with me.

4) If I open something that's already open, it moves to wherever it is relative to the arrow navigation... I guess that's OK with me as well.


This is all too confusing, just give us a History tab and History list and a Close button please.
