Question: File | Recent Tasklists Mouseover

[Patrick Skelton]

When I click File | Recent Tasklists, the menu is not wide enough for me to be able to tell one to-do list from another.  This is caused by the fact that I have a to-do list in each of several projects and for consistency I call each one simply 'ToDoList.tdl'.  So, in the menu, I will get something like this:

D:\Data … ToDoList.tdl

D:\Data … ToDoList.tdl

D:\Data … ToDoList.tdl

A mouseover showing the full path would fix the problem.  Alternatively, maybe the submenu could be a bit wider?

PS - I know I am supposed to add a screenshot of what this should look like but I honestly don't have a clue how to do that with the software I have available to me.  I'm hoping this suggestion is simple enough that my idea will be easily understood without such a screenshot.  Sorry.

Hi Patrick

The 'Recent Files' menu is actually handled by Windows itself (in a sense) but I wholly agree that its method of reducing the file paths has problems.

I'll look at improving the situation in 7.2.

Haha, my bad.

The Windows 'Recent File' handler simply defaults to only displaying 30 characters.

I'll change it to 128 characters in the next update to 7.2

Excellent!  Nice when you get an easy fix.  They don't happen often (to me anyway).
