Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
In addition to recent files and recent projects and recent files in a project, there needs to be a way to pin a set of files, projects, and files in a project for speed dial access.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Recent files is great unless you're working with 500 files in a cluster of related malware. A small number of files are your representative files. They're ones that get an in-depth and fully annotated database. All the rest are variants of the main representatives. You may open 20-30 different variants and then want to refer back to one of the main databases, but opening that many files just swamps the recents list.

Additional Information:
Somewhere on the main page when binja opens should have a spot for pinned files and pinned projects. Then inside a project on a tab to the right of "Files" and "Recents", have a tab "Pinned".

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by reviewing the main page and the project tabs, especially Files and Recents, to determine where pinned files, projects, and project files belong. Done means users can pin and quickly access each of those categories without losing them in the recents list.
