this PR needs to be updated to disable the manual path field when we select path from recent projects, and disable select path from recent projects when typing path manually. right now you can do both and clicking select will use the manual path. also suggest to rename the button from Select to Open

I suggest putting this on hold until we get more user feedback. It will require more adjustments in this PR to make the UX nice, and it is not critical functionality for the release. Selecting a project by accident is no big deal, it is fast and no edits will be lost, and the user can just change the project again.
