Expand the number of "recent" files?
Does Pro Tools allow users to expand the number of items in the "Open Recent" option? If not, could this ability be added in future upgrades? Would be a huge time saver. Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of.

On a Mac, you can change that in System Preferences->General I think.

Just tested and that doesn't work inside a program like PT. It only lists what different programs and files and servers you've opened and has a max of 10. I don't know what the limit is for PT itself.

Re: Expand the number of "recent" files?
I don't think you can change it either, but there is a cute trick you can use. You can click File / Open Project, which is populated by the online projects that no-one uses, so is typically blank. If you then click the Recent tab, suddenly you are presented with the full very long list of recent projects. It's two more clicks, but still often quicker than manually trawling through your folder hierarchy.

I don't use Apple programs except for Mail. It does NOT work in PT - tried it already. Also doesn't work in Digital Performer or VEPro 7.

Re: Expand the number of "recent" files?
Right. Pro Tools (and many other apps) clearly do not obey this systems preference. Logic Pro and Garageband do... not surprising as they are from Apple.
I'm not aware of any Apple interface guideline that apps should follow the systems preference, this setting was really introduced for the Finder>Apple>Recent Items. Some folks (including me) think it's maybe a bit silly to have a global preference... or at least one that cannot be overridden with a per-app preference, if I want 50 recently opened files in one special app I probably don't want to see 50 of them in every file menu in every app. And it might be better to just set this in Pro Tools Preferences so it's in one consistent place across Mac and Windows. |
