Increase number of recent files projects??

Does anyone know whether it is possible to increase the number of recent projects displayed under FILE > OPEN RECENT. At the moment it only displays 10 and I would really like to increase that number.I looked in preferences to no avail.
thanks
Ray

Launch Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities/ and enter the following line:
defaults write com.apple.logic.pro NSRecentDocumentsLimit 50
"50" is the number of recent files you'd like to have.

Easy question - how to increase number of recent files in menu?

This is for CS5 if it matters.
I'm an infrequent Illustrator user (at best) but I have what I hope is an easy question: I want to increase number of recent files showing in the menu.
I can't find a preferece to set such as in PS and almost every other application on the face of the earth. I've tried to reset the preferences file (start Illustrator with ctrl-alt-shift held down) but I'm stuck at 4 files, which I assume is the anemic default option.
Is there an easy way to do this that Adobe has hidded somewhere? As expected, it can't be found in the help, I can't find it on the forums, or even on the net, but I do know it can be done because I can see other installs showing lots of files in the list.
thanks for any help.

This might be because of a new feature that you can turn off for each object, and alltogether. When you create a new document at the bottom, make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. After you have created a new file, you can still go into the 'TRANSFORM' palette (SHIFT+8), use the little right top menu, and make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. And if you want to get fancy with each object; you can select an object, and look at the 'TRANSFORM' palette at the bottom is a place to uncheck the 'Align to Pixel Grid' at your disposall.
Before I found this, it ruined my week.

Would it be possible to simply grab the window and increase its size so that more rows were visible, in the same way that you can with the entire Plugin Manager window?
To automatically increase the size of the list of folders while also automatically increasing the size of the list of plug-ins is actually a fair amount of work to refactor. Our research shows that the vast majority of people just have the default two folders. However, how would you feel about 5 rows of folders as a compromise?

Upping the number of Recent Files shown in menu?

There used to be a preference for this in CS2, but I can't find where to up the number of Recent Files shown in the File menu. Is this still possible?

Look for the Preferences file in your user-folder and open it in a text editor.
Then change the entry maxRecentFiles
If you want to be sure: make a copy of the file before editing

How to increase number of data files parameter

Dear All,
I am facing problem in increasing number of data files associated with the DB. I have DB_FILES = 200 and want to set it to 300. DB was started with SPFILE.
Tell me how to increase this parameter. I dont want to stop DB also. I will be thankful if anyone guide me in both ways to stop DB and without stopping it.

Madrid,
Please don't take it as nit-picking.Just wanted to point an enhancement in 10g regarding recreating control file for increasing number of datafiles.I am sure you must be aware about it.
Please see this link and this note,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/dfiles.htm#sthref1340
When you issue CREATE DATABASE or CREATE CONTROLFILE statements, the MAXDATAFILES parameter specifies an initial size of the datafile portion of the control file. However, if you attempt to add a new file whose number is greater than MAXDATAFILES, but less than or equal to DB_FILES, the control file will expand automatically so that the datafiles section can accommodate more files.
From 10g onwards,the requirement to recreate teh control file is lifted.
Please correct me if I interpreted the note in a wrong way.

Can I increase the "Open Recent Files" to more than 10?

I haven't been able to figure out how to get more than ten file options
FILE> OPEN RECENT FILES
I tried Preferences and searching the library.

Settings like this one should be available in the programme preferences dialog.
Yes, you can do a lot by editing the somewhat hidden AIPrefs file, but isn't that pretty archaic … ?

How to clean up the list of recent files in the Getting Started Window?

The pinned/not pinned distinction for projects appearing in the getting stared window (GSW) is a bit moot if like me you are working on only a few projects.
What I find particularly distracting is projects popping up in this list if, say, I check out some examples, or temporarily load a project from an alternate location, etc.
I want to remove those from the list right away, but as simple as the request sounds, I could not figure out how to do that elegantly.
Pinning/Unpinning doesn't work, there is no "Clear recent file/project list" in the corresponding LV menus and the only way I can think of doing that is by editing the ini file.
Am I missing something?

This has been one of those majorly annoying things I have screamed about for a long time. And when they created the "new" GSW with the pinned projects and recent files, I was so hoping they would just add a simple right-click menu to remove an item from the list. But no. It didn't happen.
Here are a couple of Idea Exchange entries I found with a really quick search:
Exclude Examples from RECENT FILES and RECENT PROJECTS
Menu selections to clear history of recent files and/or projects (wow, only 3 kudos so far!)

How to Increase the # of Recently Opened Files in DW CS6 ???

Can anyone please give a detailed instruction on how to increase the number of Recently Opened files in Dreamweaver CS6? I have read the forums everywhere and do not see a solution here that works. For me there is no: Menus/MM/File_RecentFiles.htm
I mean I have a "Menus" directory but no "MM" directory inside that... also, if I create one... I still need a sample "File_RecentFiles.htm" to copy. Or maybe someone knows another solution?

I don't have DWCS6, just DWCS4 and DWCC. When I go to Program Files(x86) > Adobe > Adobe Dreamweaver CC (or Dreamweaver CS4) > configuration > Menus > MM > and then open the file named "File_RecentFiles.htm" at either location, this is the code...

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Is there a limit to the number of video files that can be included in a captivate 6 project?

I have a project that includes 15 slide video files. When I preview the project in html or publish it, I get a green rectangle where the video should be on about the 10th slide. Even if I rearrange the order of the slides, always on about the 10th one I get a green rectangle where the video should be. Is there a limit to the number of slide videos you can have in a project?

Craig,
It was image.cpp line 2770. I am told (by another person in the company that has seen this) that it has been seen on several machines, always PXI controllers, but not on all PXI controllers. I am told that it is not always image.cpp that reports the error, but for me it was always the same line of code identified by the error message. I did not have a chance to do any experimenting to find a particular threshold number of mnu files. I may be able to find error logs. I currently sent the controller to our IT department, doing a windows XP repair, just in case there was something corrupted in the system itself.
The error was reproducible. This installation at one time must have included real-time / FPGA, because on the opening screen I ge the drop-down ring for selecting a target. If I click on this drop down ring, I get the crash on line 2770, every time. If, instead I open an empty new VI, I am able to switch to the block diagram by selecting the window directly with the mouse, but if I try to pull down on the "window" menu to do "show block diagram", I get the crash on line 2770, every time. Because the user-defined mnu files are now deleted, I would have to create them again, or find a way to reinstall them, to reproduce the error at this point.

Way to clear FCP history or minimize number of recent projects?

Way to clear Final Cut Pro history or minimize number of recent projects? Thanks.

I'm not near my Mac now, but I seem to recall there being a setting for number of recent projects shown in FCP's preference. Or I could be imagining it.

Can't specify number of recent items in Excel Jump List (from taskbar)

Hi ... I've read a large number of posts about this, and all seem to point to the same general solutions. However, the posted solutions aren't working for me.
My problem: right-clicking Excel and Word in my taskbar shows me my pinned files; but the memory for recent items only ever lists the most recent three. I recently bought a new computer; I'm running Windows 8 and Office 2010. I'd love to have my recent items
list 10 or a dozen items. I've tried deleting the AutomaticDestinations file; I've toggled the Taskbar/Properties boxes for storing recently opened items; in Excel and Word, on the File tab, I've clicked "Quickly access this number of recent docs, and
set it at 10.
I'm at my wit's end. It's how I've come to navigate both programs, and I access a few files quite often at once, which makes this option very handy ... if I can get it above three!
I'd love some help! Thanks.

Hi,
I got the same result on my machine as Keith's. Once I remove all pinned items, the Jump List will work well. So it might has something to do with the number of pinned entries you have.
Setting the number of recent items to a higher value does increase my recent list, so please have a try.
Also, the option of "Quickly access this number of recent workbooks" on File>Recent page doesn't control the
Jump List on taskbar. Jump List is a Windows feature, I would suggest you check in the forum of
Windows client, where you can get more experienced responses:

Mini Bridge: how to clear recent files/folders?

Hi all,
I am a new user of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended and have a question about Mini Bridge. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and I'm using the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
My question is: how do I clear the Recent Files and Recent Folders lists from the navigation pane of Mini Bridge?
In Bridge itself I have set the 'number of recent items' to zero. I can't see any equivalent setting in Mini Bridge.
The reason for asking is that prior to purchasing and installing the Production Premium Suite, I demoed the Web Premium Suite, including Fireworks. Even though Fireworks is now uninstalled and I can find no reference to it in the Windows Registry, Fireworks has its own submenu of recent files in Mini Bridge. I can't figure out where this information is stored.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I just figured this out.
In Bridge (not Mini Bridge), it's the Reveal Recent toolbar icon, then "Clear Recent Files" and/or "Clear Recent Folders".
This is a bit counter-intuitive, considering that "number of recent items to display" in Bridge was already set to zero, but hey ho.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else finds the thread and is curious.

Is there an easy way to get a "recent files" menu with a path control?

If not, does anybody have any modular code that would do the trick? I could build this from scratch, but I'm sure it's been done many times already.

Yep, that's what I need. Before posting it, please test it with no other VI's open, as others on this forum will likely want it.
Are you refering to password locking the subvis? Or do you mean you want me to make sure it can work with any top level VI? If the latter is true, then the answer is YES. It will work with any menu. It will place a list of recent files (it will limit them to a specified number, which is configurable) just above the last option under your first menu group. So say you have the "File" menu first, and your last option is "Exit," then the File menu would look like:
Before:
New...
Open...
Close...
Exit
After:
New...
Open...
Close...
"Name of recent file 1"
"Name of recent file 2"
Exit
Now of course your menu probably won't look just like that, but as long as the recent files list can put itself beside the last option (with a seperator), it will work fine. Let me know if you have any more questions before I post the subs.

P.S. They run on LabVIEW 7.1, but I can save them to 7.0 if that is the version you have.
