Hi Boaz, The hack is to remove (text-edit out) the recent files from your preferences file. This requires care in not removing the wrong number of brackets and such. Sometimes when I'm going to give a demo for a class, I prefer it not to show my previous files list, so I make a system command-line alias for starting Chimera that replaces my existing preferences file with a short preferences file lacking the file history, or with only the few demo files in it (and with any other preferences I want to have set for that demo) before starting up Chimera. I guess this is for "brave" or "advanced" users only. 8-) Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi,
Is there a way to delete entries from the rapid access list without having to edit the preferences file? If there isn't such a way, is it possible to request to add such feature?
Hi Boaz, So I guess you know that if you click on an entry where the file doesn't exist anymore that you will get a dialog giving the option to delete that entry, delete all non-existent entries, or do nothing? I presume this doesn't meet your needs here for some reason -- i.e. that there are entries that do exist that you want to remove? I guess I don't understand it, but other people have asked for the same thing so I will put you on the existing enhancement-request ticket for this and raise the priority of the ticket so that it will probably get done in the next month or three...
