"Recent Items" doesn't show all recent items

I have a file type I use commonly that never shows up on the Recent Items list. Why?
Actually, none of my InDesign files show up. Is this just Mac acting like Microsoft and only showing recently used MICROSOFT files instead of all files?
I thought that Mac people were better than that! After using Mac's since 1985, I am SERIOUSLY frustrated with the lack of Mac I'm getting with Leopard. It's been terribly MICROSOFTED.
This *****!
Not to mention wasting hours of my time finding absolutely NO DATA about this in the help, or the knowledge base (talk about copying windows).

I just tried it and my InDesign files show up in the Apple menu's Recent folder after I open them using the Finder - they do not appear after being saved or opened using Adobe's interface to do. Adobe must be bypassing the standard Open and Save file dialogs used by the operating system and in doing so these file operations are not cataloged by the Finder for the recent items menu.
Do you have the sidebar turned on in your Finder folders? There is a section for custom search results or smart folders or whatever they are being called today - where you can store a search for all InDesign Files created in the past week or month or whatever criteria - could even use a tag in the file name by project to have separate folders for each - and you could even go into your Library folder (under your user name) and take that saved search and make it a shortcut on your doc or using an App such as FruitMenu from Unsanity.com you could even make this a custom item on the Apple menu.
Two pieces of advice for you.
1. Don't get upset with Apple when the issue is with Adobe's code.
2. Take any opportunity where the system or an app does not work as you would like it to find a creative solution that works better for you than the built in options.
Also I feel your pain I have been there - and in the process discovered some truly amazing third party apps that suit my needs wonderfully - some of which have even been purchased by Apple and incorporated into the base operating system.

  • Show All Menu Items  -designed by idiots for idiots?

    [rant]
    Which idiot or idiots thought of that in CS4?
    Same annoyance in my old XP office but at least you could set it to always show full menus. I had to move to CS4 after CS3 didn't like Win7 (no problem with that as it's beta) but I was shocked to find my opened images now seem to go left to right rather than right to left. Not sure of the technical description but the close 'x' has moved. And WTF is a 'floating document window' and why has it completely changed my user experience with Photoshop? It's horrible and totally different to CS3.
    "Show All Menu Items" is the worst thing of all. It's not done by the same numpties who did this forum is it? I notice tight/click paste doesn't work here either. I have to CTRL/V. And where's 'preview message'?
    I think the designers have run out of ideas and have to find something to do or are they all the people Microsoft dumped after the Vista Wow?
    Other than those complaints I still love Photoshop but -please- get rid of the "Show All Menu Items". Just show me the bloody options that have always been there.
    [/rant]

    Big thank you to Zeno Bokor -that solved it in 1 second
    I think I've had PS for almost 7 years and it's a wonderful program. I don't mind technical changes or improvements but they really need to test things a bit more. Messing about with something as simple as a menu (which is after all just a menu) is the height of stupidity. They should learn from Windows 7. A fantastic OS compared to the horrible Vista. Why did they get it right this time? They listened to their customers. Windows 7 opens CS4 (and CS3 -it does work just a bit of hassle) like a Notepad file. It's very quick, has never crashed and works very very well. I have noticed some other changes (apart from the annoyances) but I'm not a particulaly heavy user and everything else I went for in the GUI was there 9or was easily found).
    Adobe need to concentrate on getting the program to work and work well and stop messing around with the interface. And why is there no real working official fix for CS3 and CS4 with Windows7? W7 is not a beta like some strange little fan ap for Linux -it is your next paymaster. Yes, technically, it may be in beta but I've been using it for months (it's still free to use and download until March 2010) and it's a very very popular application. Many people who use W7 also use Photoshop. Instead of Adobe's development team thinking of ways to annoy paying customers maybe they should fix CS3/4 so it works fully in W7? You think that would be a good idea?
    Anyway, I'm glad Show All Menu Items™ is fixed but I still have multiple images being opened/loaded to the left instead of the right. So when I go to close or edit I keep going to the wrong side (maybe I installed the Arabic version? ). This sort of thing is not easy to Google or search for a fix because I and I assume 1000s of others have no idea why it would have changed in the first place.
    Photoshop is a great application but cut the crap ideas and fancy menus. And, get your finger out and fix CS3/4 fully for W7.
    Thanks again

  • Rid of "Show All Menu Items" option

    How to get rid of "Show All Menu Items" option from Application menu and keep always open all menu items?

    You should be able to reset Your menus under Edit > Menus by choosing Set: Basic.

  • How to make "show all menu items" permanent?

    Does anyone know a preference setting in CS4 to make "show all menu items" enabled all the time?  I use certain menu items regularly which require the extra step of chosing "show all menu items" before they will appear in the menu.  I would love to change this irriating setting.  I have searched preferences over and over and I know there must be one that addresses it, but I cannot spot it.

    The essentials workspace should show all the menu items:
    Window>Workspace>Essentials.
    If you want a different layout or to add panels to the workspace, rearrange/add
    to the workspace (panels) and then save a new workspace under a different name.
    Window>Workspace>Save Workspace.

  • Show All Menu Items - On all the time - PSCS4

    I must be missing something because I'm sure Adobe would make a way to keep this feature on all the time. But I've been through the preferences and can't find it. Maybe someone can help me.
    How can I make Photoshop CS4 Show All Menu Items - All the time?
    It slows me down and frustrates me having to keep clicking on this each time I need the full menu, which is pretty much all the time.

    > Workspaces contain more than just the menus to display. If you just want to control just the menu items, go to Window> Workspace> Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus... Here you can choose 'Photoshop Defaults' from the Set: pull down on the Menus tab.
    > 'Essentials' is used Suite wide and may make more sense in some of the other products. Unfortunately, Ps was burdened with 'Essentials' and 'Basic' (effectively antonyms) in the process.
    Thank you Steve.

  • Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    I have the same problem with podcast playlists.  When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone.  I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store.  They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
    Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

  • ICal doesn't show all text for the activity

    When I updated to iCal version 8.0 i noticed that when I am in week-view, iCal doesn't show all the text for an activity, although there is plenty of room. For example I have a lecture from 9 am - 4 pm and in the activity I put down all the things I have to do, but it only shows the first line for my activity. I need to drag the box or double click on it to see all the text. Can I change this?

    Gabriella,
    Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
    View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.

  • ATV doesn't show all photos in slideshow

    My ATV3 doesn't show all my photos in slideshow. It seems to repeat the same, say 50, over and over, even though I have about 400 in the folder on my windows7 PC.
    Whats the fix?
    Thanks
    Andy

    For the avoidance of doubt are you talking about the screensaver or the slideshows.
    Slideshows should show all your photos, but screensavers will not. Screensavers need to save the photos to the Apple TVs flash storage, the Apple TV doesn't have a lot of this and so limits the number of photos it uses.

  • Apple TV doesn't show all pictures in photo stream

    I have about 1000 pictures in my photo stream, but my Apple TV doesn't show all of them. It shows only 304 photos. How can I get all my photos to my Apple TV via photo stream? I have the latest Apple TV and the latest operating system on it.
    Edit:
    And I have tried to reset Apple Tv and photo stream.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Package Body in the tree doesn't show all procedures

    I am using Sql Developer 1.0.0.14.67 on Win XP Professional,
    DB servers Oracle 9i on both Linux Red HAt and Win XP Professional
    I have troubles with one of packages - in the tree under Package Body SQL Developer doesn't show all procedures of this package body.
    On the right panel all package body source is shown, but in the tree under Package Body it shows names of only procedures up to certain line in the source code - up to line where first Private (not included in Package Spec) procedure code starts.
    BUT, there are more Public procedures in package body below this Private procedure - and all of procedures below first private are not included in the tree under Package Body

    I find this quite annoying. I cannot use the navigation panel on the left to find the location of all functions and procedures in the package body. The 'missing' procedures are listed under the package spec, and double clicking on them takes me to the spec and not the body.
    I'm running v1.2.1.32.13. Is this a know issue and is there a fix planned?
