How do I specify how many files are shown in DBISQL's "last recently used" file list?

[VolkerBarth]

With DBISQL v16, by default the File menu seems to show the last 4 recently used files. However, on one of my boxes, it shows 10 such files, and I'd like to have that on other machines, as well.

However, I don't find an option to set that.

So how/where can I change that setting?

(Using 16.0.0.2270 and 16.0.0.2344)

Here's a snippet from two DBISQL v16 instances, as stated the left one does show wayyy more files...

With 16.0.0, you get at most 10 files. With 17.0, you get at most 4 files. The names are pulled from the mruList in C:\\Users\\your-windows-user-id\\AppData\\Roaming\\sybase\\DBISQL 16\\.isqlPreferences16_64 which can be quite lengthy. I assume there is also a "32" version of this file. Perhaps that is why you see different numbers of files.

BTW, I have been speaking "Windows" here.

Also check Help/About Interactive SQL for version information.

Well, in my case these are both v16 instances, both as 64-bit versions, so as you state 10 files should be allowed.

However, I added more file names to the "mruList" entry in the according preferences file, and now they are shown as wanted. Thanks!

There is no way to change the number of recently used files tracked in DBISQL (v12 and later, possibly earlier)

So how come the program does behave differently, then?

In the sample shown above, if I open a different file in the right instance, the MRU files list will get updated but still only holds 4 entries...
