Open Recent Isn't Working

[photobear]

I am using PM 4.6.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.6.2. After I close a contact sheet, when I try to reopen it the "open recent" command doesn't work. All it shows is a grayed out "clear recent". In my prefs I have the "empty cache on quit" unchecked. Help!

Quit PM and then try deleting the following file:

com.camerabits.PhotoMechanic.plist

You can find this folder by starting in your home folder in the Finder then opening the Library folder and then the Preferences folder.

Then use PM again like you normally would.

Let me know if this solves your problem or not.

Will do. Thanks.

I finally found the problem...my own stupidity! It turns out there is a Mac system preference under "personal" and then "appearance" that allows you to control the number of recent items displayed for applications, documents, and servers. Mine was set to "none." I changed the documents pref to "5" and now it's working perfectly. Please let your tech support person (Bob) know!
