How to clear only invalid entries in Recent Files

Submitted by tvojeho on Wednesday, 22 October, 2008 - 18:26

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was a way for a macro to go through the items in Recent files list and delete invalid entries, leaving the rest. My Java know-how is not very extensive, and after some googling and searching the default macros code, I have put together a few lines of code which luckily do not throw an exception, but unfortunately do not apply the desired changes to Recent Files menu.

I would be grateful for any help.

Cheers, tvojeho.

BufferHistory.Entry[] recentBuffersArray = BufferHistory.getHistory().toArray(new BufferHistory.Entry[0]); // get history

for(i=0;i {

recentPath = recentBuffersArray[i].path;

if( ! new File(recentPath).exists())

{

BufferHistory.Entry removeEntry(recentPath);

}

return;

Sorry for the previous code,

Sorry for the previous code, it was scrambled somehow.

BufferHistory.Entry[] recentBuffersArray = BufferHistory.getHistory().toArray(new BufferHistory.Entry[0]); // get history
for(i=0;i<recentBuffersArray.length;++i)
{
recentPath = recentBuffersArray[i].path;
if( ! new File(recentPath).exists())
{
BufferHistory.Entry removeEntry(recentPath);
}
}
return;

Try this: [code] import j

Try this:
[code]



import java.util.List;

List entries = BufferHistory.getHistory();

for(BufferHistory.Entry entry : entries) {

   if(!new File(entry.path).exists()) {

      BufferHistory.removeEntry(entry.path);

   }

}

[/code]

That should work for you though I'm not quite sure why.

removeEntry is marked as private, so it shouldn't be accessible this way. I guess beanshell follows a bit different rules.

Regardless, hope that helps. Smiling

setAccessibility()

The reason is discussed in this thread in the mailing list .

For short: Actually the startup macro getGraphicsEnvironment.bsh is the reason, that Capabilities.setAccessibility() is invoked at jEdit startup. After this call beanshell has access to private routines.

Thank you, elberry, your c

Thank you, elberry,

your code works great. I put it in my startup script, and it cleans the recent items nicely.
