list of 50 "recent Files" reappears after each restart

Post by pdecort »

Hello,
When I open PDF Exchange Editor I can see a long list of items in the 'recently used' list.
These are old files. I can use the 'manage history and recents' button to clear all the 'broken' links - which works.

However, once I close PDF Exchange Editor the old list of documents re-appears; and any new documents I have opened do not appear.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Hello,

The recents list in PDF-XChange Editor consists of two ranges of files: "Pinned Recents" and "Unpinned Recents".

Most probably you have 50 or more pinned recents at this moment, and for that reason there are no unpinned recents showing up. The pinned recents get priority over the unpinned recents.

You can either un-pin some of your pinned recents OR you can raise the number of items to show from 50 to more.

Hopefully this helps.
