I'm no power programmer but I would try to economise on repeating similar
queries such as checking for the existence of optionVar recentList before
querying the recentLst. I *think* that you could use a try: / except: approach
to just query the recentFile (don't check for its existence - the try statement
will not cause an error if the optVar doesn't actually exist, but execute the
except section if the try statement fails.
I'm not on the box at the moment but the idea would be:
'''
Disclaimer: haven't written this on a machine so there could be bugs/bad
formatting etc
'''
try:
recentFiles = cmds.optionVar( query = 'RecentFilesList' )
except:
# do something else here.. or..
cmds.error('no recent list')
