Notepad++ 5.0 - Recent Files not working

    Hi, i'm using N++ 5.0 under Vista x64, and i get no new entires in Recent Files (File History).

    I checked, and the directory where the config is saved (C:\Users\XY\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++) has full access for everyone. It's just that N++ doesn't update the recent files list when i open a file. I removed the recent files, and it did that. Now it's empty and stays empty. First time i see this. Is it a bug?

    Regards

      Sorry, answering myself here, but with "don't use appdata", recent files work again.

      Seeing as N++ had full access to the appdata dir, i don't get it. Maybe someone can explain.

      I'm seeing the same behavior in npp 5.11. I think that the recent files list only gets added to when you *close* a file. Why? Dunno. Seems dumb to me.

        It's not so dumb... if you modify the concerning setting in preference dialog to define the number of history file.
