Description Jim Fell CLA 2021-06-07 16:19:03 EDT
Increase maximum allowable size for recently opened files list from 20 to 100.  Large developer displays are very common now.  There is no need to limit the recently opened files list to a paltry 20.  Allow the user to set it to at least 100.
Comment 1 Rolf Theunissen CLA 2021-06-08 07:27:43 EDT
The be complete, the number of shown recent files is configurable in
Preferences > General > Editors > Size of recently opened file list.
Both the default as well as the maximum is 20 files.
