'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.

  • 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.

  • Open Recent Items List

    The names of the files in the "Open recent Items" list are
    being shown in an Asian Character set.
    Is there a way to reset this to a traditional Western
    font?

  • 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,

  • Recent files list is not updating after 10.1.13

    Recent files list is not updating after 10.1.13 update unless I open the file via the Network in Windows Explorer.   If I open a file by accessing the file via a drive listed under Computer, the recent files list does not update.  The recent files list updates only if I open the file from the same drive listed under Network.

  • Open Recent Items list disappeared

    Hello,
    Well, the Open Recent Items list - the list underneath Users, Macintosh HD, etc - has disappeared from all applications. This is list vital to my sanity, it's taking twice as long to navigate to files now.
    I've searched the Apple Discussions and the Internet without any luck. Does anyone have a solution to make this list viewable again?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanking you in advance.
    JT.

  • "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!

  • Clear Recent Files List from Splash Screen

    Hello - I can't see a method of removing the recently used files from being referenced in the DW CC splash screen. How do I clear the list?
    Thanks

    Be careful anytime using Regedit and editing the Registry...
    If you are using Windows this method should work-
    --- this method works for CS6, not sure about (sigh) 'Creative Cloud' ---
    Close Dreamweaver
    Press & Hold the Windows key on keyboard>
    Type in regedit... click run - click ok when admin. dialog opens>
    Folders on left, click HKEY_CURRENT_USER>
    than click Software>
    than click Adobe>
    than click Dreamweaver CS6>
    ...scroll until you see the folder 'Recent File List'
    than click Recent File List>
    Again BE CAREFUL!!
    Leave the first key which should be (Default), the rest which have names File1, File2, File3, etc., right click and select delete (you can also click and drag to highlight all the ones you want to delete, agree.
    Exit Registry - start Dreamweaver!

  • Open Recent Files doesn't work

    Most of the time I get the following message on files with .indd extension. I am in CS2. The message is Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission or the file is in use by another application. Well, I am the only user, I closed the file ten minutes ago and it is available if I go to the File/Open menu and then find it on my hard drive.

    Try replacing your preferences. I'd use the long method of backing up the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files in your user profile, rather than the three key startup routine.
    A new set of prefs will remove any customizations, and the recent files list, but it usually clears up this sort of problem. To make your life easier, go to the preset "define" dialogs and select any custom presets you've created, then save them to a file on the hard drive before doing the prefs replacement, then you can go back and select "load" to restore them.
    If replacing the prefs solves your problem, make a backup copy of your new set (the two files mentioned above) after restoring any customizations and you will be able to copy the backup set back into your profile if you need this fix in the future. If replacement doesn't help, restore the old prefs you backed up.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • Odd Files in Recent Files List

    We recently ran into some virus/identity theft issues on our macs.  We are a little concerned about a list of files which appeared in the 'recent files list' for excel (see attached screenshot).  The files seem to be related to emails and were located in a /volumes/date file location.
    Any direction would be appreciated.

    Good work, thanks!

  • 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.

  • 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 … ?
