* New dialog to view and re-open recently closed editors
* Open the last closed editor via keyboard shortcut
* The current scoll position and caret position of editors is persisted and can be restored when an editor is re-opened. This enables to continue editing at the last viewed position.

List not maintained after Eclipse closed - otherwise works well

Submitted by Robert Bird on Fri, 2021-10-15 10:36

Hi,

This is helpful - thanks for creating the plugin. If possible, it would be nice if it remembered the recently closed files between sessions. When I start Eclipse the recent files list in the File/Recent Files menu shows the recently closed files from before, while this plugin starts with an empty list each time. It would require this plugin to persist its list of recently closed files so they could be reloaded at startup.

List is always empty

Submitted by Stefan Pachner on Mon, 2020-09-14 02:55

Hi,

MacOS: 10.15.6
Eclipse: Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0), Build id: 20200615-1200
java: openjdk 13 2019-09-17

Any hints what to do?

regards

spachner
