      At present SketchUp only allows for a maximum of 10 files to be shown in the "recent items" menu. Any chance of allowing SketchUp to remember more files? I've always got more than 6 or so, on the go at any one time.
      Guys, gals?

      I fear not - the number seems to be hard coded and not set in the registry/ini file - only the file paths are saved there ? 😞

        Since you are on a Mac, this might help http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050919045154542

        I haven't tried it so can't say if it works. I do suspect this is something the system can control independently of SU however.

          Cheers for the link Chris. I'll give it a go in the Terminal (a place I always dread- after my brother wiped a whole hard drive accidentally!!)

          I'll tell you both how I got on πŸ˜„

              OnyX makes it easy to change that amount..
              http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070

              [different versions for tiger/leopard/10.6]

              i mainly use onyx on my laptop to run the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance scripts that don't happen since the powerbook is rarely on at 3a.m... it also has some cool parameter changes (ie- change file type/naming scheme of screenshots etc..)...

              it's basically a gui for certain terminal commands so use with caution.

                Of course it is Jeff! Onyx- I used to use it, but for some reason it stopped working, so I did away with it for a time. Thanks for reminding me. πŸ˜„

                There's another too, but I can't remember the name of that other one either. I'm afraid I'm one of those people with a memory like a sieve!!! Typing on my iPhone at teh moment...... Spelling mistakes in abundance..... πŸ˜†

                    Wow. cocktail used to be free! Crikey! 😞

                    It was MacPilot that I was thinking about. Again about $15. The price I must pay for ignorance! πŸ˜†

                        My SU7 (pc version) is not holding ANY recent files in the drop down menu. Where is the control to set the number for this?

                        Thanks,

                        Steve

                          There isnt a way of controlling it on the PC as far as i know. If it isnt showing up its probably a bug, have you updated to the latest version?
