Re: Updated plugin: FARR MostRecentlyUsed 0.5.1

I know I asked this here once before ...

Does anyone know where the MRU list of Open Windows Explorer Folders is kept. This is the list used by Windows Explorer: ->Tools->Folder Options->View->Advanced Settings (List)->Restore Previous Folder Windows At Logon. I've looked and done some searches but I can't find where it's stored.

I looked here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
and I cannot find the list there.

Perhaps someone knows where it is stored, or knows of another place I could ask this question ...

Thanks

Kevin

See readme.txt for options and details.

Where do I find the readme.txt? It's not in de download?
For instance, I want to add PDF-XChange viewer to the list of applications but don't know how.
It would be nice if someone could post an example configuration-file, just to see how things look like.
Thanks a lot.

Hi daanvink

The readme.txt file should be in the download. You should also be able to open it from within FARR by going to the Options window, selecting the 'Plugins and Updates' category, pressing the 'Click to Examine and Configure Plugins..' button, selecting the FARR Most Recently Used plugin and finally pressing the 'View Plugin Readme/Help File'.

As an example look at the FarrMostRecentlyUsed.config file in the FarrMostRecentlyUsed plugin directory. Don't make changes in there but create a similar looking file called FarrMostRecentlyUsed.user with your configuration instead.

I had to edit some Visio files lately and was surprised its MRUs were missing in the FARR MRU plugin. I've added them now.

My dear Donation Coders! The FARR Most Recently Used plugin is now open source and available on GitHub.

https://github.com/phitsc/farrmru

Just like my Multi Monitor plugin, I think this plugin is probably obsolete, i.e. I think FARR has MRU functionality built in now. In any case, I have put it on GitHub as it might be useful for other FARR plugin developers.
