Increas number of recent files, or make it configurable #1547

Closed rovf closed 8 months ago

rovf commented 8 months ago

Currently, it seems that the numer of recent files (i.e displayed in File/OpenRecent) is limited to 15, which I find pretty small. Please increase this limit (32 would sound good to me), or put an option into the Preferences, where one can define the numer of recent files to be remembered.

You can customize the number globally in the System Settings > Control Center. CotEditor does not provide the option to change the number in the application level.

I don't have this "control center" in my System Preferences:

Aha, then you can find the same option in the General settings (if I remember correctly).

Indeed!! There it is!!!! Thanks a lot. I find it bizarre to have such an option configurable at the system level, but if Apple decided to have it, it makes of course sense if applications honour it. Nevertheless, configuring it for each application separately would make more sense to me.

That's good to hear :)

Yeah, that's reasonable. However, CotEditor has a policy to have less configurable options as much as possible to avoid messy setting options. It's just my decision.
