"open recent" file/song has gone

Since upgrading from LP 7.2.3 the function "open recent" has gone from the file menu:-(
I have saved several L8 songs so there should be some to choose from ....
Have you the same problem ?

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?

  • "open recent file" menu item - 2 issues / aspects (Mac & Windows)

    regarding the  "open recent file" menu item in the File menu.
    1)   should have a way to "clear recent items".  Most software solves this by appending an item "Clear Recent Items" to the bottom of the list of aliases that springs forth from the menu.
    2) Further, in the preferences it should be able to be set to 0 to prevent the function entirely, not just natural #s 1-99.  This is the case in Windows Adobe REader, and on the Mac it was the case the last time I was able to check, but due to the bugs in 9.1.x regarding the ability to handle a case-sensitive file system I haven't been able to even open the preferences on the mac for a while.

    Michael:
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    Please note that this issue:  "open recent file" menu item that is not clearable, nor is the system preference able to be set to retain 0 files,
    has absolutely nothing to do with the file system issue.  It is just a design choice (or oversight or bug depending on your point of view).
    It is an issue of security/privacy to not have the Reader keep a list of recently viewed files, or to at least allow the user to clear the list.
    Thanks again for your time, interest, and speedy reply.
    Cheers!

  • '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.

    How do I open a pdf book cover file using Acrobat XI into Indesign CC?  Everytime I try, it says I am trying to open a file that has been saved wrong.

    PDF files cannot be natively opened in InDesign. They can only be placed as graphics.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • 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.

  • Show full file name in File Open Recent Files menu.

    I would like to be able to see the full file name in the File > Open Recent Files menu. With long file names, I cannot differentiate between the file I want to edit and the series of images I exported - they all look the same when truncated. (Mac)

    I'm working in CS6 on Windows and wondering exactly the same thing. I usually export PDFs or JPGs of current work using the same or very similar names for tracking purposes but trying to open recent files then becomes a game of trying to figure out which of the various identically-truncated file names actually corresponds to the file I want to reopen.
    Is there a way to get Illustrator to display the FULL file name in the Open Recent Files menu?

  • Adobe Reader X freezes when I try to open recent files

    When I try to open recent files, Adobe Reader X will freeze up and will stay that way until I restart the computer. Even logging off won't work. I recently left it alone for around 5-10 minutes and Windows finally did end up stopping the process, but this is not normal. Any ideas for a fix?

    Nope. That didn't do it. It won't even let me end the process AcroRd32.exe. I confirmed that after around 10 minutes, it finally closed on it's own. I just also confirmed that it's a problem with accessing files on my network, not local files. The odd thing is that I can use the Open tool, go the folder and open that file fine, but when I try to open the same file under the recent files, it freezes up. This may have to do with the fact that this is a mapped network drive. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

    A client has sent me an indesign file I cannot open. She says she has updated to Indesign CC 2014. I am a CC member and fully updated my own software but cannot open the file she has sent me, not even if she saves as an IDML, how do I resolve the problem?

    There are a few things to try.
    First, if this file came to you vial email attachment, it could have been corrupted. Ask her to zip the file and send it again. That sometimes helps.
    I suppose there's a chance that the file is already zipped, so see if that's the case and unzip it if so.
    If the file name doesn't end with .indd, add it and see if that helps.
    If you are double-clicking, try File>Open from within InDesign.
    Last (and I know this sounds like a joke, but I've seen it many times), sometimes people attach a Mac Alias or Windows Shortcut instead of the actual file. What is the file size? If it's really small, that might be the reason.
    Also, no offense intended if some of this sounds like stuff you have already tried. I don't know what you know, so I'm just spit-balling.

  • 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 … ?

  • 'Open Recent File' doesn't work

    Hi, I've just started a new job, and I'm on a PC with CS6. (I'm used to Mac, CS5)
    I can't seem to get 'open recent file' to work in any of my CS6 programes It is always greyed out and never remembers what I've last done.
    Does it have something to do with the files being stored on a passworded server?
    Thanks!
    -Kim

    Ha! I would if I had an I.T department to start with!
    I know absoutely nothing about PCs or Windows. We are a small business of 3 staff with no I.T department at all. The boss' husband put in the computers and he doesn't know anything about it or about CS. Boo.
    Any pointers of how to fix it myself? Thanks

  • What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played"

    What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played" for about 1 in 20 songs. This is really screwing up my lists that I use as backgrounds for a lot of activities in my classroom at school.

    FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...

  • 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.

    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

  • Lost "Open Recent" files in Menu

    Hi,
    I have lost the "open recent" tab in my Windows ID CS4 File Menu tab. Nor is it available to add in the Edit/Menu tab either. It was there when I installed ID... but it has disappeared....  This has happened in my Photoshop as well....
    Any clue as to what rock it is hiding under?
    Thanks!
    Ken Dawes

    It disappears when your prefs are reset (and maybe still when Daylight Savings Time begins and ends, but they may finally have fixed that in CS4). In any case, it should rebuild when you open new files. If it isn't, there's a good chance you turned off a registry value in Windows (are you using Windows?). One of the "paranoia" settings in TweakUI used to do that.

    It's not an apple solution but you can try MailRaider by 45 RPM software. I have not used it personally but it was one of the hits that came up when I did a google search for .msg on Mac.
    Hopefuly the link posts but if not then just head over to macupdate and do a search for MailRaider
