Missing list of recent files

The list of recent files does not appear in Thunderbird when I want to add an attachment when sending an e-mail. As a result I have to search through my directories, which is time consuming as I have many with multiple sub-directories. I am using Windows 7 and thunderbird v.17.0.3, released: February 19, 2013. On my other laptop, which is running XP the recent document list appears no problem.

Your asking questions about Windows and it's recent file list in a Thunderbird forum and apparently think someone should send you some sort of recent information on a Thunderbird feature that does not and never has existed.
It did and apparently still does in Windows. Thank you Mr Howes, I was unaware it could be resurrected. When enabled in Explorer I assume appears as a folder in your file picker. I have no idea because I do not use it, but there is no point getting upset with the people here for explaining your looking for a windows feature.

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!)

F.31- Missing List - Export - Local File Option

Hi Guys,
We have just upgraded to ECC6.0 from 4.6 . An issue we encountered is that one of the methods of exporting the data from F.31 is now grayed out. This is via List->Export->Local file.
Also in the previous version we do have a Statistics at the end of the report, which is not available anymore.
So I'm wondering if this is just by SAP design? Does anyone with ECC6.0 have use of the List->Export->Local file feature?
Thanks

Hello,

My Keynote doesn't list recent files.

I have been enjoying using Keynote for many, many years. On my new MacBook Pro retina, Keynote does not list my recent files anymore. Did I miss anything? Or anyone experiencing same issue?

Keynote 8 still has Open Recent in the file menu, if it does not have this on your system, delete Keynote, empty Trash and re-install from Mac App Store:

Dark blue background and weird icon placement on jump list (recent files) of apps in task bar

Hi, I recently made a factory reset of W8.1, and now I'm seeing a weird and very annoying dark blue backgound in the list of recent files that appears when you right click an app pinned to the taskbar. Also, the "pin to taskbar" and "close window" icons show sort of out of place and apparently larger than normal I've tried looking through every possible setting but I can't find anything related to this list in particular. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Hello @Adrianrff, I understand that a dark blue background and strange icon placement on the jump list of apps in the task bar of your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since this issue occurred after performing a factory reset, I suggest performing a full system recovery by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return the jump list and icon sizes back to factory settings.
If the issue continues, please contact our technical support for further assistance in this matter by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

I hope this helps!
Regards Thanks for the suggestion, MechPilot. I did a full system recovery but unfortunately it did not work. Apparently the color of the background matches the color chosen in Windows first startup, but I don't remember having chosen white the first time, everything looked fine then. Any other suggestion?

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.

Recent files and volatile user

Hello:
We use a volatile user with Zenworks 6.5 so the list of recent files gets wiped off once a user logs out. Is there anyway to change that? We would like to still use a volatile user accoutns, but we would also be able to keep the list of recently opened files so the user can use it after they log off. Thank You.

You can move the location of "recent" through the registry. Move it to the user's home directory.

Recent file list missing from taskbar icon

Adobe product icons on the Windows 7 task bar (along the bottom of the screen) used to reveal, with a right click, a list of recently opened files for that program. Now, since upgrading to CS5, a right click shows only the program and the option to unpin the program from the task bar. Can anything be done about this in preferences or elsewhere? I'm striking out. Thanks in advance.

This is a great idea. A more detailed "Call details" screen with call length would be very useful. Let Apple know this.

'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.

When I sort by date added in Column View in Finder, how can I make the most recent files appear at the top of the list?(Mavericks)

In 10.8, when I sorted Finder by date added or date created in column view, the most recent files would appear at the top of the list. Currently, this happens as it should in every single view mode EXCEPT column view (which is pretty much the only view I ever use). Currently, I have a folder with over 2000 files in it that date back to 2011, so now I have to scroll for like ten minutes just te get to files that were most recently added. Who in their right mind would want to sort by last modified with the oldest result listed FIRST? Ridiculous. I can't figure this out. Any help?

Thanks for the reply leroydouglas! Unfurtunately this doesn't cause the column to be ordered correctly either. After selecting this option, the files seem to be ordered by label, and the most recently added file is somewhere in the middle of the list. I'd like it to be at the top, and have other files/folders descend in retrochronological order by their add date.
Any other input from the community would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just confirming that this is/is not expected behavior. I'd be super bummed to find out that this IS expected behavior, as it's really counterintuitive and extremely inconvenient.
Thanks again!

I am using a macbook pro with system 10.6.8. I just discovered that no recent files have been backed up to the external disk using Time Capsule. There is a long list of backups including most recent but no recent files, for some weeks, have been backed up. I did a full reset of Time Machine. I disconnected the external drive and reconnected it. It is not a matter of file types, no files and no folders have gotten backed up. Everything looks normal though unless one goes hunting for recent files on the back up.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

File names not shown in Recent Files list

On my Samsung Galaxy S3, when I access the Recent Files list, the files I have downloaded in the last few weeks mostly have names like downloaded_file-51.pdf . In the Documents List under /storage/emulated/0/Download, the names appear correctly. Older files appear correctly in the Recent Files list.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks

We are able to reproduce the issue at our end and will try to fix the issue as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
Thanks,

Recent Files List in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Recently opened files are not being stored in the recent file list (File --> Open Recent) on my installation of Dreamweaver. Is there a setting I can enable to turn this on?
Thank you.

Are you using Mac or Windows?
The recent file list is stored in the Registry on Windows. Are you having other Registry problems?
Please provide a simple recipe for what you are doing.
How do you open the file? There are many ways to open files in DW.
What kind of is it? html? js? css? php?
Are you in code view? design view? live view?
What do you do while you're there?
How do you close the fille?
How many other files do you have open?
HTH,

Where's the file that stores the Recent Files list? (Mac OS)

I closed a document yesterday that I had finished after saving a PDF from a saved AI file. When I went to "Open Recent File" and selected either the AI or the PDF, it says the file cannot be found.
I would like to take a look at the path of where Illustrator thinks the file should be so I can narrow down why the file is missing.
I've looked in /Users/(me)/Library/Preferences and haven't found anything.
Thank you!

I doubt this *.plist file will be any use to you… Why don't you go outside the app and use spotlight…?
or just comm+f

Delete files in Open Recent Files list - CS3

Is it possible to delete single files in the "Open Recent Files" list
or specify how many recently opened files are be shown?
I am using CS3 (5.0.3).
Thanks

No and no, although Adobe themself doesn't seem to have any problems with this -- every single update kills the list (to my chagrin).
Can't imagine any bona fide reason you'd want to. It's not like it's meant as sort of kind of Document organizing feature, as if.
