Longer list of "Most Recently Used Files & Directories" ?

Post by n8blume »

There are only 10 files in the list "recent files".
Is it possible to enlarge the list to 40 or 50 files?

:) Hello !
… Is it possible to enlarge the list to 40 or 50 files?
• Hm… 40 or 50 sounds a bit too many, I would be happy with a few less, let's say 20 ?
- But if that's possible in the core-codes, I would prefer an INI option (to add¦change by hand), something like :
RecentItemsMax=number
having indeed an absolute upper limit -let's say 48(?)- set with i.e. an empty string or so…
• Anyway, I support a lengthening of that list, 10 is really too short…

:) Hello !

• Thanks to Pierre our Dear Author, the entries are added in the 1.97-ß1 and seem to work :
[Start]
RecentFilesMax=number
RecentDirsMax=number
to add by hand in the INI file. We don't know whether there is a upper limit, though…
