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.

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 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.

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.

Hi Bert ,
You might want to report for a possible bug.Please refer to the following link for the same.

I installed the system update to 10.7.3. After re-booting, my mail file was missing from the dock. Looked in applications and the mail application is missing. Any thoughts?

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.

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,
Randy

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.

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!

Hi, My brush tool is missing from the icons on photoshop 10, I only have Smart Brush Tool

Hi,

Many of the tools have multiple choices - simply right-click on an icon or for the brush tool keep pressing the letter B to tab through the choices.

No option to save files, content/file type missing from Applications list

I want to be able to click a link to a file and have the option to Open the file with a specified application.
When clicking on the file I want to Open with a specified application, I only get a Save or Cancel option.
When I look in Preferences > Applications, the file type is missing from the list.
This was working. It is not working anymore. It is not a problem with the website. I need to know where in the FF settings I can change this.
FF 30.0
Kubuntu 13.10
Thanks

OP, did you ever get a solution to this problem? It's driving me nuts having to specify a download destination then go into a program to open the file I just downloaded!! Have tried deleting file types .rdf and no success either!
</blockquote>
I'm not sure of the solution on Windows. But this worked for me on Linux.
I needed to edit mimeTypes.rdf
See the links below for details. The first one was someone having a problem with Transmission. I was having a problem with ktorrent, so I just adapted that. If you're having a problem with a different file type, then you'll need to adapt it differently. But the general idea is the same.

Also, I suspect that FlashGot or some similar download manger plugin was responsible for screwing this up. I haven't confirmed it yet, but I've seen some things that make me suspect it.

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…?

FAQ: My files are missing from the Library, or How to reconnect your images?

What is the Lightroom Library?
The Library module of Lightroom can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Library, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is a Lightroom catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Lightroom. When importing a file, the first thing Lightroom does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and your catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Lightroom say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Lightroom, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Library module, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Similar happened to me when i moved my iTunes library from XP to Win 8.1. Apps were in iTunes but would not sync to iPhone - could not find oritinal file. Win Xp and 8.1 have different file paths for My Documents and My Music. Locate the folder within iTunes called Mobile Applications. It should have a file with an IPA extension for each application. Add that folder to library. That will refresh the iTunes database so that it knows where to find the apps. I had to do that to my entire library (music, podcasts, etc)

Can connect but not retrieve file list (VSFTPD) from within network

Hi!
I've got a D-Link DIR-100 wired router to which an Airport Express and an MSI Wind (Arch Linux server) is connected. I can connect to the Wind from outside the LAN, which includes SSH, HTTP and FTP. However, FTP won't work if I'm inside the LAN. The Wind has the IP 192.168.0.101 in the network, and I forwarded the port 22 for SSH, 80 and 443 for HTTP and 20-21 for FTP. I'm using OpenSSH, Apache, and VSFTPD.
When trying to connect with Transmit (OS X) I get this error message:
[b]Could not retrieve file listing.[/b]
Server said:
Illegal PORT command.
Error -162: PORT failed
The Transmit log looks like this:

If I try to connect to 192.168.0.101 though it works like a charm. How come I can't use the same adress? I can visit the external IP/HTTP in a browser, I can connect to it through FTP, but I can't view the files?

Interestingly, the errors above seem to be a little bit of a
red herring. If I turn off "enable file check in and check out" in
Dreamweaver then files can be downloaded, edited and uploaded
perfectly. I can also create new files. As soon as I turn checkouts
back on, it stops working. The errors above show up in the Apache
server log even when this box is unchecked and yet everything works
correctly. Because Contribute offers no option for editing without
writing extra info files to the server it still won't work.
The Dreamweaver log shows the following when I attempt to
check out a file:
Started: 12/19/08 6:25 PM
Operation timed out. Cancelling...
Operation timed out. Cancelling...
/webdav/robots.txt - error occurred - An HTTP error occurred
- cannot get robots.txt. Dreamweaver could not connect because the
server is down or not accepting connections.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not
completed.
Files with errors: 1
/webdav/robots.txt
Finished: 12/19/08 6:27 PM
As I mentioned, when I turn off checkouts this whole process
works correctly, and I can edit and create new files.

The package file is missing from the project directory

Today after working in SSIS all day with no problems, I re-opened one of my projects and got the message:
The package file ‘package_name.dtsx’ is missing from the project directory. This package has been skipped, and project will continue to load.
So two of my packages loaded and all remaining packages where skipped, one pop-up dialog for each “missing” package. I then looked in my project directory and all my packages are still there.
1. Has anyone experienced this and found why this happens?
2. Can I just import my packages again and be good to go?
Update:
I discovered that this had to do with renaming my packages in SSDT. For some reason the name changes did not get saved into the project .dtproj file. I was able to correct by renaming the .dtsx files in the project directory to their original name. Then
I re-opened the project, renamed the packages to the new names, saved and closed all packages. At this point you need to save the project, which actually wasn't really straight forward. You need to highlight the project name in Solution Explorer
and then from the File menu select 'Save Selected Items'. This updates the .dtproj file.
Upon closing SSDT, a dialog SOMETIMES appears asking you to save the project, after selecting Yes, the .dtproj file also updates. However, I've realized that upon closing the project, that the dialog asking to save the project does not always appear,
depending on what has changed in the project. To be safe, use method previously described, especially after renaming packages. Also, if SSDT happens to crash after you have renamed a package, the project will not re-open properly.

I remember one such occurrence when I used Source Control (if I recall right it was TFS), and yes, you can simply right-click on the packages folder and choose 'add existing package'.
But check for project file perhaps it has a wrong reference. E.g. something from the outside manipulated on the package files.
