[0.64] Clean up 'History' entry in INI file

[gundram47]

Hi,

there seems to be no limit for the size of the 'History' recorded in the INI file. While using XnviewMP it grows and grows (unlike Xnview).

I would like to have a function to clear this history, or, better yet, a configurable maximum number of entries in this list (like Xnview).

Thank you!

you have Option>Interface>Recent files

Thank you. Please excuse me for replying so late, but RL interferes sometimes.
Since posting I have upgraded to v0.68MP, and I had some time to try a few things.

Pierre, I think we are not talking about the same things.

The option you mentioned, for me, is under Tools -> Settings (F12). But that is not what
I was talking about. And, this option is also not working correctly.

What happened: I have a picture open in the browser. It's in a folder containing many images.
I want to copy/move it to a different folder. If I do this with only one pic, it works - I find a
corresponding entry under File > Recent Files. But when I copy/move some more files from the
same folder, they are not recorded in this list. I have to close Xnview and start it again.

Back to my original problem: I have a picture file open in the browser, and want to
copy/move it to a different folder. I use hotkeys Alt-C/Alt-M, and a copy/move window
opens. That's where my problem is: the drop-down list, pictured to the left of 'Expand',
keeps growing and growing. That's what I want to limit, I don't want 50-60 entries there.

Please see the attached screenshot (I hope this works).

ok, must be limited to 20 entries
