I20070807-0010 The Quick Access dialog should offer a way to remove previous choices. I accidentally chose the Java Type Hierarchy perspective when I wanted to open the Hierarchy view, and now I always have an item in my previous choices that I'll never use again.
Unless you make enough other choices over time which will make the unwanted entry scroll off screen, and eventually, disappear completely. Do you expect to see a stable list of a few choices in the Quick Access dialog?
> Do you expect to see a stable list of a few choices in the Quick Access dialog? No, of course the list will change when I access other items. But the wrong choice hurts my eyes, and I'd like to remove and never see it again (like I can do it in the Open Type dialog;-).
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.
This issue has been bothering me for years. Some items would fall off over time, but some would stay forever. I finally got sick of it and devised an experiment. I found the data is stored in .metadata\org.eclipse.ui.workbench\dialog_settings.xml. I manually edited the file to remove the offending entries. When I restarted Eclipse, the quick access dialog was finally to my liking. But a clear all button in the UI would be much appreciated!
