		When specifying a session to open you can either specify the
		session folder or the session file. If you specify the folder, Ardour
		will open the primary session file within the folder. If you specify a
		session file (see <xref linkend="sn-snapshots"/>), Ardour will open
		that particular session.

				<guimenu>Session</guimenu>
				<guisubmenu>Recent</guisubmenu>

			with more than one recent session file, expand the session subtree by
			clicking on the expansion box left of the session name.
