Is "Open Recent' modifiable?

Is "Open Recent' modifiable?
Is there a way to increase the number of "recent" files that an application will list in "Open Recent" - right now it seems that it's limited to what the application has set ... BBEdit is about 16, Photoshop is 11 .... I'd like to be able to set any and all applications to a 20-25 "recent" file limit.
thanks in advance.

there is no "preferences" file in the Word menu bar.
Which version of Word? I have Word 2004 and under the Word item in the menu there is preferences (can also be opened by command + comma). In preferences there is general and under that is a feature to change the number of recently used items.

Can't get rid of Button Libray in Open Recent

Is this happening to anyone else? I don't know if it's restricted to this particular library file.
When I first installed ID 6 I must have opened the Button Library just to look, and ever since it's been in the open recent list, usually as #1, though during the course of a session it will move down, or even off, the list, but the next time I open ID it will be back at #1.
I've even trashed the Saved Data file, and everything else on the list is gone, but there it is when I restart: Button Library.indl.
I don't wish this on anyone else, so don't try this at home unless you need to open a library, particularly that one, anyway, but would someone who uses libraries be willing to open one, shut down ID, then restart, open at least 10 more docs to move it off the list, shut down and restart again, and let me know if the list stays the way you left it?
Peter

I opened about 15 files to push the library off the list, closed ID, re-opened, the library still was not on the list, so I renamed it back, rebooted, opened ID, opened the library, verified it was again on the list, then opened 11 more files to push it off again.
I've closed and re-opened ID, and it hasn't come back yet, so maybe that was it.
I don't remember a crash with the library open, and if it had, why didn't it recover on the next launch? I do have a vague memory of modifying the library, though, then changing it back, and closing it. Why that would trigger a recovery, and where it was trying to open -- because it certainly wasn't on the screen anywhere -- is a complete mystery.
Cyndi, try renaming the library and re-launching ID, and let us know what happens.

Open Recent for V5.5 Not Showing Most Recent

After upgrading to Pages 5.5, the Open Recent list of documents is buggy - sometimes after saving a document, the list of recent documents is updated and sometimes not. Before upgrading to Yosemite and version 5.5 of Pages, this feature worked.
Clearing the menu has not resolved this issue. Changing the Recent Items number in System Preference has not resolved this issue.
I tried to report this issue using the Apple feedback link, but the dropdown menu for version number only went up to V 5.2.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue?

Any pattern? Are they the most recently created or modified? Anything in common about how they are named, or in the +dot plus three+ extensions? Are you still seeing the older version of files on the Mac compared to directly in Windows.
I've not used Windows 7 so I'm not familiar with any sharing filters that are possible. If you are still seeing older versions of files, and the ones you don't see on the Mac happen to be the most recently added to the folder, it still feels to me like you are actually connecting to a different sharepoint than what you believe... maybe one that is in an backup archive or something.
Sorry I can't be any more helpful. It's a bit mysterious.

Preview doesn't show 'open recent' items

When Preview is open, File-->Open Recent shows only 'clear recent'. Checking all different values for 'recent items' in System Preferences makes no difference in Preview. Some other apps work with 'Open Recent' (eg Pages) but not all (eg TextEdit behaves as Preview). Anybody see something similar, or know a fix? Thanks!

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Problem with opening recent projects

Hello all,
I've been working on a project on FCP since july and I've been saving it to an external HD since then.
There's been 3-4 other projects I've worked on along the way, and I've tried to keep everything organized and saved properly (I.e. I always set my scratch disk to the external before editing and saving)
Every once in a while I will open FCP after plugging my external in to edit my project and it will not open in the bin!! When I go to file > open to find the project there are no recently saved projects that I had worked on the day before but instead months ago!
In short, what happened to my project file? I tried searching my external and even my laptop's HD to look for the most recently modified/saved project but to no avail!
Is there anyway to retrieve it?? I made many important edits the other day and I hate the idea of starting all over losing months and months of edit time!!

Problem solved I Found the sequence! It turned up in another project's folder!

Remove Recently Modified text and links

I am new to CSS. Here are the instructions I am using to remove recently modified text and links below it:
Type in the CSS code below in red into Notepad without the quotes. Save the file.
“<style> .s4-recentchanges{ DISPLAY:none; } </style>”
Upload to file to your SharePoint site. Copy the link of the file.
Go to Edit mode of the page where you want the “Recently Modified” link to disappear.
Add a Content Editor webpart (under Media and Content) on the page.
Edit the webpart.
In the Content Link box, paste the URL you copied in 2) above.
Under Chrome Type, select None.
Click OK.
I created the file but am not sure where do I upload the file (site assets, etc). This should have an .css extension. Does this webpart go at the top or bottom of the page.
d.bell

Open master page through SPD. Goto code view. then under “head ” tag put the following css:
<style type="text/css">
.s4-recentchanges
display:none;
</style>
Link will not show now in page

Lion - finding recently modified files

Lion's removed the 'recently modified files' from the sidebar in finder. How, in the new Lion world, does one find files that have been recently created, for example in Fireworks/whatever?
The online help is useless, but as the user interface isn't much help, I now need to find out.
BTW searching for a file using spotlight was the only way I managed to find the file - I want the "new" "improved" way of doing something that's always been there. Oh, opening the enclosing folder shoots me to a different screen when using mis-control.
What a mess.

Click on the Desktop
Do CMND + Click (this opens Spotlight)
Search for a full stop (.)
When files appear, select the "Last Opened" column.
This lists files even without a . in their names. It seems to include OS files that were opened directly by the user (eg., text files) but no matter.

Getting "open recent" items and "open documents" from an application

How do I ask Textedit (if running) for the list of documents currently open?
How do I ask Textedit (if running ) for the list of "open recent" items?
Thank you

Thank you. This does the job for "opened documents" in TextEdit and other applications. I wish there were a similar method for "open recent" items. Each application (TextEdit, BBEdit etc) seems to handle the "open recent" items in its own way!
Thank you again.

Open Recent Menu question

Does Logic7 have a preference for File>Open Recent?
Is this a default number or is there a preference? For some reason my Open Recent suddenly has amnesia and cannot remember anything but the single last song opened.
All suggestions appreciated....

The Open Recent should be related (but I've not tested) to Finder Appearence Preferences.
Open the System Preferences, choose Appearence and change the Number of Recent Items: Documents to see what happens.
cheers

When I open pages it scrolls through various numbers of blank pages with a line at the side, then stops at a document, but usually an old document. I have to go to "open recent" to get on the page I want.

Hi
When I open Pages it scrolls through numerouss blank pages with a line at the side 1st, then settles on an old saved pages document.I then have to go to "open recent" to select the one I want. Why?

No
It's the 1st version of Pages I've had on my computer.
Can't delete them as they scroll through them at a rapid pace. The longer I've had the problem the more blank pages it scrolls through.

Open Recent Items List

The names of the files in the "Open recent Items" list are

Is there a way to reset this to a traditional Western

'Open Recent' files list

The 'Open Recent' files list is too short.
Is there a way to make it longer, e.g. for 25 or 50 files?
Thanks!

I'm not sure that it's a good idea but it's your wish so here is the soluce:
set nbRecents to 30
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages NSRecentDocumentsLimit " & nbRecents
If you want the same behavior in Numbers, use:
set nbRecents to 30
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Numbers NSRecentDocumentsLimit " & nbRecents
In fact we may use that for every application with a Recent Items menu.
I got it in a thread dedicated to the behavior of Script Editor.

Microsoft Office for Mac open recent File menu option causing AFP to crash

Hi all,
We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5.8. The Xserve hosts three file shares for about 60 users. Our network is 99% Mac based running mostly 10.5.8 with a few 10.6.x. We have historically over the past several years had the AFP service become unreliable and crash frequently. Late last week the AFP service crashes constantly. The quick solution to getting it up and running is to delete the AFP.conf file in /etc.
We have troubleshot one cause of AFP crashing to the Open Recent... File menu option in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. That is, through some amount (haven't been able to narrow it down to how much) of opening documents on the share via the Open Recent menu the AFP service will crash.
Here's what's happening in the AppleFileServer .crash file:

Our solution is to have all our users turn off the open recent option in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Not an ideal solution but it may get the AFP service running "good enough."
Has anyone had an experience like this before or can anyone duplicate the AFP service crashing when trying to open documents on a share via the open recent menu? Any other ideas?
Thanks

Update.
I have been able to consistently reproduce a problem where the AFP service will crash if a file that a user has an alias to is moved to a folder and the user is denied access to .
1. On your Mac create an alias to a file or folder, that you have access to, that is stored on a share served via AFP. The alias can be in the Places section of a Finder window, on the Desktop, or anywhere an alias can be created. Lets call what the alias points to the target.
2. Move the target to a folder on the AFP share and deny the user or group Read & Write access to that folder.
3. Try accessing the target via the alias created in step 1.
The AFP service should crash.
Can anyone reproduce this crash scenario too?
