Is it possible to disable "Recently Closed Tabs/Windows" functionality

Post by atiovalo »

Shouldn't it be possible to disable "Recently Closed Tabs/Windows" functionality like you can disable search history and sessions functionality?
Anything that could reveal search history should be optional in my opinion.

If it is possible and I just missed it, I'm sorry.

I wil add an option to disable recently closed tabs/windows.

To disable sessions:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    session
  • Select: session_store
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.

Thank you.

Somewhat related: when I set session_store to false, after I re-open Everything, the file "Session-1.5a.json" is deleted, but the file "Session-1.5a.backup.json" seems to remain indefinitely, which I assume is not intended.

Everything 1.5.0.1384a will now disable History -> Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows when disabling the session store.

To disable the session store:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    session
  • Select: session_store
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
Disabling Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> session_store will now also delete your sessions from disk.
Clearing your Search history under Tools -> Options -> History will also delete your sessions from disk.



When the session store is enabled:
Session-1.5a.json is renamed to Session-1.5a.backup.json when you start Everything.
It will constantly be overwritten with the last session.
