Yes, I think it would be better to clearly show what's opened and a  
possibility to close (without reopening any project directly).

Thanks, I didn't notice that!

Suggestions: Maybe it would also be more intuitive to have the project  
specific preferences grouped together below the project menu (or even  
better, below the list of projects you mentioned in q1). As it's now  
it's hard to find the project specific settings and if you continue  
with a project created by another person it can be hard to find all  
settings that have been made in that certain project.
