Add "Clear list" option to File > Recent files menu - #463
Merged
Conversation
Previously the recent files list could only be emptied via a full factory reset. Add a "Clear list" item at the bottom of the File > Recent files submenu (shown only when the list is non-empty), separated from the file entries. RecentFilesManager gains a clear() method that removes all recent file entries and persists the change to disk immediately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #453.
Previously the File → Recent files list could only be emptied by a full factory reset, which also throws away every other setting. This adds a dedicated way to clear just the recent-files trail (e.g. on a shared machine).
Changes
RecentFilesManager: newclear()method removes allPROPERTY_RECENT_FILE_PREFIX + ientries from the main config and persists the change to disk immediately (props.save()), logging a warning if the write fails.MainWindowController#refreshRecentFilesMenu: when the list is non-empty, append a separator and a Clear list item that clears the list and refreshes the menu. When empty, only the existing disabled "No recent files" placeholder shows, so Clear list appears only when there's something to clear.messages.properties: newjfx.gui.menu.file.recentFiles.clear=Clear listkey (English; other locales fall back until translated).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
