Description Thorsten van Ellen

Hi!

Often I search occurrences of something, find several files, e.g. 50.
I open them and the last 4 of them are in the file history.
I close 20 of them again and the last 4 in the file history have not changed.
But I have closed the last file to early and want to reopen it,
but is not in the file history!!

It should not remember the files that have been OPENED at last,
but it should remember the files that have been CLOSED at last.

The File history (at the bottom of the file menu) 
seems to be able to remember only 4 filenames!
This should be configurable for at least 10 filenames!

best regards

Thorsten van Ellen

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
