Hello, [ Apologies to readers of the jEdit developers' list. I should have sent this to the users' list originally. ] I'm am frequently frustrated by the impaired utility of the "File" -> "Recent Files" sub-menu. I say "impaired utility" because the implicit close of all open files that takes place when jEdit is shut down causes all the files open at the time of shut-down to be added to the Recent Files menu, effectively displacing many (often all) of the recently closed files. Given that all those open files are going to be re-opened when the application is next launched (for those of us who keep the "Restore previously open files on startup" option enabled), this action effectively makes the Recent Files list almost useless. I would like to suggest that only files closed manually by the user be added to the Recent Files list. Thanks. Randall Schulz |

I like that change too.
