Starting New Project With Video Studio 10

After I have finished with a VS project and close the application later I want to start a new project. So I launch VS and after it comes up I see that all the video clips from the previous project are still there. But when I click on New Project those clips still remain. I have to delete them one by one. I would think that every time you start a new project everything from the previous project would be gone. Well is there some way to delete all the video clips as a total delete instead of having to delete them one at a time?

Also, does VS have any means so that I can insert all the clips into the timeline instead of having to select each clip and draging it onto the timeline one at a time - one of my projects has 46 video clips and I would like to just click on something which tells VS to insert all of them into the timeline - any such way?

I know that with VS7, I have to go to file (Close) to close old project, then do a file new. Not sure why VS is like that. Seems it automatically reverts to last opened project. There may be an option of preference you can change to make it stop doing this.

Most GUI applications (like Visual Basic, Visual C, etc, etc) all open with a clean workarea. The only way to open these applications and get the project you desire is to:
1) double click on the project file you want, or
2) Select it from the drop-down file menu which keeps tract of the last projects you have worked on

But just to open most applications there is no reference to any previous projects. Video Studio always has the previous project's thumbnails in the Edit widow. So, I always have to delete them before I start capturing new video clips. Kind of dumb if you ask me.

However, in regards to my original questions I did find a way to do what I asked in a simpler way.

Instead of deleteing each video thumbnail one at a time you can left mouse click on each one of them while holding down the Ctrl key. This will allow you to do a multi-select of all the clips and then do a single delete.

As for the second question. If the clips are in the correct order as to how you want them in the project then do the same thing as above; left click on each video clip while holding the Ctrl key and then do a single Insert To Video Tract.

This greatly speeds up the process but still does not resolve the issue that the clips are still left in the Edit window from a previous project.
