Subject: [GNC] maxfiles not changing list in app
I'm running Linux Mint 22.3, I have used the dconf editor and edited the
file
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnucash.GnuCash.history.gschema.xml. I
confirmed the default number is now 8.
<schemalist gettext-domain="gnucash">
<schema id="org.gnucash.GnuCash.history"
path="/org/gnucash/GnuCash/history/">
<key name="maxfiles" type="i">
<default>8</default>
<summary>Number of files in history</summary>
<description>This setting contains the number of files to keep in
the Recently Opened Files menu. This value may be set to zero to disable
the file history. This number has a maximum value of 10.</description>
However, the menu only lists 4 files.
If I check the config/glib-2.0/setting/keyfile it lists the last 6 files
I opened.
[org/gnucash/GnuCash/history]
file0='/media/jared/Jared_s Files/GnuCash/xx1.gnucash'
file2='/media/jared/Jared_s Files/GnuCash/xx2.gnucash'
file4='/media/jared/Jared_s Files/GnuCash/xx3.gnucash'
file1='/media/jared/Jared_s Files/GnuCash/xx4.gnucash'
file3='/media/jared/Jared_s Files/GnuCash/xx5.gnucash'
file5='/media/jared/Jared_s Files/GnuCash/xx6.gnucash'
I changed the file names to xx#
Any help would be appreciated.
Jared
