Recently opened documents

Post by SQU »

Hi,

When opening common documents in Windows Explorer or Windows Search a history of those recently opened documents are listed in "Documents" (in Windows XP: Start -> Documents). This does not happen when opening documents from Everything.

Is this by design or a bug?

Regards,

"Everything" does not add executed files to the recent documents folder.
This is by design.

"Everything" uses ShellExecuteEx to execute files.
ShellExecuteEx does not add files to the recent documents list.

I will consider implementing SHAddToRecentDocs which would add files to the recent documents list when executed.

Hi void,

I don't see this option in the current alpha versions yet. So I'll hold thumbs that it comes in the next major update ;)
