SciTE4AutoIt3 - user options file: "save.recent=1" does not work

[lee321987]

save.recent=1

Is supposed to cause the most recently used files list to be saved on exit in the session file and read at start up.

But after a restart my recent files list is empty.

ConsoleWrite(EnvGet("SCITE_USERHOME") & @CRLF)

gives value ?

[lee321987]

C:\Users\<my_user_name>\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE

 

[ioa747]

it works for me with  SciTE.exe (4.4.6.0) 

the setting save.recent=1 is on

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTEGlobal.properties

[lee321987]

Are you using plain SciTE or the special one made for AutoIt?

On which version are you running? (SciTE Help/About info)  Show me the SciTE console output when you run a script for information about your setup.

The open filelist is save with save.session=1, which will reopen the same files that were open at SciTE close time.

The save.recent=1 will keep track of the previously opened files after they were closed and shown in the Menu/File option at the bottom.

Yeah that's what I mean.  That list does actually populate while I have SciTE open (a file is added to the list when I close the file), but when I close and re-run SciTE that list is completely gone.

Do you have save.session=1 to ensure the session is save? 
You can check file SciTE.session in your SCITE_USERHOME => C:\Users\<my-user-name>\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE directory.

[lee321987]

Yes I am using save.session=1.

Try opening more tabs than there are mru lines in your SciTE.session file.

I just found out that the recent list is cut short by the number of open files in SciTE.

I have 10 mru lines.  If I have 7 files open then the recent list will have 3 entries

And 7 of the paths in mru list (written in the SciTE.session file) are the currently open tabs -- should current tabs be in that list?
