Actually, for clear the history (archives and searchs) is uncheck and save settings and check again (if wanna keep saving later) or is there another acces key/option ?
Or can add?:

How to "Clear Now" History and Search ?
Just "Uncheck" --> "Remember recent files" and EXIT Notepad3 !
or
Just "Uncheck" --> "Remember recent files" and press "F7" ! As easy as that ! 😃

My opinion is that there is no need for more options, because "F7" does it perfectly and instantly ! 😬

Hello @Mitezuss ,
As far as I'm concerned, I think you (requester) can close this issue...
Upcoming beta will get controls to clear history in a more convenient workflow.


Feel free to test the "BETA/RC" version "Notepad3Portable_5.20.816.1_beta.paf" or higher, see below or issue #1129.
The "Notepad3Portable BETA/RC paf" version can be used with or without ".7z" extension.
To update the "Notepad3 Setup" version with the latest features/fixes from the "BETA/RC" version, see issue #1105.

Nice, thank you !
@hpwamr
XD esos mensajes borrados lol. No era mi intención a que se mal interprete, solo quería denotar lo tedioso que era realizar la limpieza del historial =7
@hpwamr
En el ultimo release, cuando le doy a borrar el historial de búsqueda y/o reemplazo, se borra en el momento, pero al cerrar e iniciar de nuevo el notepad, el historial sigue estando ahí. (no sabría desde que versión empezó este problema).

OK thanks, we are going to investigate ? 🤔

Another problem:
When delete all the "recent files" (Clear All), the OK button not work.

Recent File List (File History): Disable OK/Remove on empty list
Hello @RaiKoHoff ,
It's not only on "empty list" but also when you right click on the text window ? 🤔

The last is correct behavior: See Window Title: You want to open a file from list with "OK" button, this should only be possible. if a file is selected !

@RaiKoHoff
But now can not be "delete all", because the button is also disabled (need select a file, is just a little observation)

@hpwamr
Por cierto, en esta ventana, el texto en ingles dice: Preserve caret position
Traducido esta: Preservar la posición de caret.
Debería ser igual al menú: (supongo que te falto actualizar)

Otra observación es: se puede cambiar la traducción del botón "Cancelar"? (supongo que depende del ID del botón y windows le pone el texto) Ya que realmente su función es "Cerrar". Puesto que, si uno tilda las opciones que esa ventana ofrece, (si no esta seleccionado ningún archivo) no se puede apretar el botón OK (lógicamente porque uno no quiere abrir ningún archivo), pero como "Acepta" los cambios ? O sea, la única opción es cerrar esa ventana, tras tildar/destildar y por lo tanto el único botón disponible es el "Cancelar", no dando noción de lo que realmente sucede: Se aplican los cambios y se cierra la ventana. Por eso yo lo llamaría "Close" o "Cerrar". Supongo que es propio de windows eso (al colocar el botón), pero tal vez se pueda crear un ID de botón de Close ¿?
Traducido esta: Preservar la posición de caret.
It will be corrected with the next build.
Otra observación es: se puede cambiar la traducción del botón "Cancelar"?
It seems correct to me. 🤔
Cancelar is the correct translation of Cancel.
And also functional, it seems to work as expected,
If you press the button:
@hpwamr
El problema que le veo yo es que no cancela los cambios realizados (sino que los guarda; y por lo general un "Cancel" es descartar (no guardar) los cambios realizados)
Me refiero a las opciones (que están en la ventana):
Guardar la lista de archivos recientes al salir.
Preservar la posición de caret.
Recordar patrón de búsqueda.
Y sí, la traducción (de "Cancel") es "Cancelar", pero no debería ser _Cancel_ (en ingles) sino _Close_ (que traducido da Cerrar)

The "Recent File List" always tracks the opened files within one session (session = from NP3 instance Start until Exit).
Optional, you can "save recent file list on exit" - session file list and saved file list are merged (file list on disk may have changed by another instance of NP3).
So obviously, as long as a file is loaded in NP3 the "recent file list" can be cleared, except the currently loaded file.
Regarding the "Cancel" button: Maybe this is misleading, cause it implies that all changes to the list may be "canceled" which should revert the previous state. If this is wanted, we have to provide 3 Buttons: OK, Cancel and Close.
If not, we should rename this Button to Close.

I suggest to rename the button "Cancel" in "Close" instead of 3 buttons. 🤔
@hpwamr : Do you like to take over this task(s): dialogs_xx_yy.rc -> IDD_MUI_FILEMRU ?

Yes, I do. 👍
