[javascript] Don't add pdfs to recent documents if they are opened hidden

Post by Mathew »

This request is for PXCE to NOT add files to the recently opened file list if those pdf files were opened hidden (ie by a script with bHidden=true).

This affects any tool that may open a utility file hidden (in my case, for example, viewtopic.php?t=44459, viewtopic.php?t=44263, viewtopic.php?p=200409#p200409) because it results in a long list of useless "recent" documents.

This may be a bug, because in my limited test, Acrobat does not add the file to recently opened documents list.
