      <para>
        Choose <menuchoice> <guimenu>Session</guimenu>
        <guisubmenu>Open</guisubmenu> </menuchoice> or press
        <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>O</keycap></keycombo> and

        start ardour from a command line, and specify the session folder as
        an argument.

  <para>
    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.
  </para>

  <section id="recent-sessions">
    <title>Recent Sessions</title>
    <para>
      The <menuchoice> <guimenu>Session</guimenu>
      <guisubmenu>Recent</guisubmenu> </menuchoice> menu item will allow you
      to navigate directly to sessions that you have worked on recently. For
      sessions with more than one recent session file, expand the session
      subtree by clicking on the expansion box left of the session name.
