Re: "Open Recent". How to extend the limit from 50 to 100?
OK, and thank you Stephan. To be clearer about #4 below. A file does not need to be re-opened to populate the list I require. For the list has already been populated by the most recent files that were opened. And those — the most recently opened — are the files I require. PS: I’ve gotten what I require by also accessing the “Open Recent” list on my prior computer.

The first hard coded bound is 50 indeed. It’s in the source code in header file src/LyXRC.h line 547 for LyX 2.3.5. The 2nd upper limit of 100 is in source code file src/Session.cpp line 47 the assignment of absolute_max_last_files. This is the limit JMarc had in mind, AFAICS. > 3. Can I access that limit?

In fact it’s the list of last accessed files. What do you expect? What is the list that you requires? In your first mail you wrote: > I’d like to review the last 100 files that I’ve opened. Indeed this list is stored in the file "~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.3/session“ You may fill it yourself if you know how to do it. The first two lines of this file are: ## Automatically generated lyx session file ## Editing this file manually may cause lyx to crash.

Hello, As far as I can see in the sources, the default is 20 and there is a hardcoded bound at 100. I am surprised by your numbers, but I have not checked in LyX, it takes time to open 100 files to populate the list.

Thanks Vincent. 20 is surely enough!
