For scripters though wouldn't a better approach be to take the list (of recently opened files) and check in advance if the files exist in a foreach loop. We would rebuild and weed out the list (formatlist) so when we click on one of those file entries we've already checked that it exist or it wouldn't be on the displayed list.

The List management should have a clean-up function without the need for any script :biggrin:

OK, I see that now.
That modification of the Clear button is an idea. Later...
Looking forward to it being implemented :tup:

Code: Select all

open inputselect("Open any of the Recently Opened Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);
You can run it through the address bar, or make toolbar button to call it. Still not what you want, but a little closer. And with a filter box! :)
Thank you!!!!
This is more or less what I was looking for. I made a custom button for this script.
The same style as "recently accessed folders" would be more visually elegant, but this works too.
