Recent scripts

Post by CAsba »

Hi, the recent scripts shown on clicking the clockface, top right on header bar, is not working. It is not including the recent scripts I worked on; I must have reset something, as it was working perfectly. It does show scripts I worked on, but not the latest ones. Any ideas ?

Hi.

i have never used that little gadget. But mine works fine, even in a new session. I do not know how it determines what constitutes a "recent" script, since in that new session, I only see a few of the scripts I opened in the most recent session(s).

On a Mac, there is a "Recent Items" option in the apple menu, where the depth of both recent apps and recent documents can be set by the user.

Were the scripts compiled? I'm not sure but I think that's when they're saved to the history.

Hi Jacque,
They were 'saved', or 'kept' as amended scripts..Does that mean compiled?
I also tried downloading the latest LC 10 and using it, but the problem still persists.
It's just a bit of an inconvenience, is all.

Hi CAsba,

sometimes deleting the LC prefs cures these kind of things.
Ope the messagebox and type:

Code: Select all

put the filename of stack "revpreferences"
Note the filename, quit LC and then delete that namely file.

Then you need to set your prefs again, but "Recent scripts" and whatnot should be working again as advertized.

Best
