Option to limit/disable links history

[54m4d]

Hi!

Is it possible to have an option to disable old/previous sessions links? we discussed this here

A checkbox in the options to clear all URLs/history when closing the tab/browser would be perfect!

The option to display only a certain number of recent entries is now available in v2.10.8.

URLs from closed tabs and sessions get moved to the all tabs/previous sessions sections respectively.

This is exactly what i would like not to see when i for example re-open the browser, the links are always accumulated there until i click Clear this URL list. I'm not sure if it's possible to implement something to limit/disable this, or maybe an option to clear itself once the browser restarts or something like that.

Thanks for the update.

The whole point is for the links to accumulate there, that's what the lists are for. If you want to clear the this tab/all tabs lists, just use the button. They should be empty after relaunching the browser. If you have no use for the previous sessions tab, simply don't use it and optionally enable the "remove entries older than 1 week" to keep it maintained just in case.

Right. Maybe last question, would it be possible to reduce the number in Only show certain number of latest entries so it can start from 1 instead of 5 in your next release?

I'm not sure why you'd prefer to have less entries than more, but yeah, I suppose there's no need for such restrictions.

Just to have more flexibility, on some website i deal with only a couple links and by having the ability to narrow down these links it's more easier and accurate to copy only the desired links at once if you get what i mean.

I think with only one entry you'd be making it more likely to grab the wrong link, but maybe that's just me.

Usually 3, but i just said 1 to be as felixible as possible :)

I'm also using the Detect additional file extensions and have enabled ignore streams most of the time, so that's why i only work with small amounts of links, but this is just my use case, i wouldn't think it's a bad idea to have one as a minimum, because this option is disabled by default so only interested users like me would be looking for it 😁

[54ac]

You're right. I initially wanted to limit it to a smaller range to minimize the possibility of some random edge case bugs, but on second thought it doesn't seem necessary.

[54m4d]

No stress with this, but you can consider it in your next release, when one has enabled the above options i mentioned then you can understand that it's about some narrowing down work, so having the possibility to control that is definitely appreciated :)

The range for the recent entries option is not being limited anymore as of v2.10.9.

Great work!
