Opal Feature Requests

I wish:

I wish Open Recent could be expanded to 20 or 30 documents.
Maybe make it a preference...and select how many you prefer.
—in your spare time of course.

This is totally standard Cocoa behavior, so you can search for the technique to do it. You should even be able to set this system-wide if you like.

I think you can do this globally by executing the following in Terminal:

defaults write -g NSRecentDocumentsLimit int 25

or just Opal

defaults write a-sharp.opal NSRecentDocumentsLimit int 25

I don't think this is worth adding to Preferences.

1.  I just tried
defaults write a-sharp.opal NSRecentDocumentsLimit int 25

and got this response
2006-12-14 21:09:59.834 defaults[386] Unexpected argument 25; leaving defaults unchanged.

2.  I'd like to be able to <flavor>-select* an item in the Recent menu and remove it from the list, without scuttling the entire list.  *(where <flavor> is option or control or whatever).  (If there's any standard Cocoa way to do that, how do we find out stuff like that?)

Sorry should be "-int" as in

defaults write a-sharp.opal NSRecentDocumentsLimit -int 25

No standard (or even at all easy) way of editing the list I'm aware of.
