Checkmate Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I know it has become the 'industry standard' to have recent files in a sub-menu called 'Open Recent', but I've never been a fan. In older design apps, the recent documents list was always at the base of the 'File' menu, avoiding a second step to access them. Take Paint Shop Pro 7 for instance (which I still use daily) - this has the 'old' method and there is also a preference that allows you to choose how many files are shown. The File menu only uses a third of my screen height so I'd love the option to use that wasted space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkmate Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 I never got a reply to this 5 years back so I'm going to bump it! Can we please have a simple option to show recent items on the main 'File' menu, at the bottom? Just a tick box and 'number of recent items to show' (like PSP screenshot). It REALLY bugs me having to have 2 steps for this when there is a ton of space on most screen sizes for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
