recently used data -- v19 and editor functioning

[Maguin, Eugene]

I might be wrong In complaining about this but on my version of 19, the
'recently used data' line (file --> recently used data) never displays more
than one entry even though I have recently open and closed multiple data
files via syntax files. This was not the case with 18.

Files opened by syntax are never added to the recently used file list on the File menu.  This is intended to avoid driving interactive actions off the list.  Interactive actions are the most likely to be reused interactively.  Version 18 acts the same way.

Hi Gene,

 

If you go to Edit >> Options >> Tab 'General', what integer do you see in the spinbox titled 'Recently used file list'?

Btw, I am using v14, the location of that menu option might have changed by now.

 

 

Cheers!!
