Searching for the place to change took me quite a while, until I realized that the "gconf-editor 2.20.0" is now called "GNOME Configuration Editor" in the menu. Also the entry in question is "min_recent_items" rather than "max_total_items" which defaults to 8. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Programmer <casualprogrammer@yahoo.com> 2008-05-12 02:37:49 MST --- How come your screenshot shows 4 then ? It's reopened as limiting it to 2 entries seems a little tight. I use 8 for instance there might be other desired values for other people. The easiest solution would be a context menu from computer ( aka main-menu ). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We had to set this so low though because we (main-menu) are used on small screen devices and for that special case the menu already struggles to fit. What I would really like to see happen (if I ever get time) is this changed to at startup check if the user has explicitly set the value. If not then based on available screen real estate (say >= 1024*768) default to 6. This is what I use (8 favorites and 6 recents) and it works really well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
