How are we able to disable the recent tasks?
We are able to disable the image history, but so far I see not the recent tasks. Why?
Can there be a setting option to disable recent tasks. This is for privacy reasons.

This?

That's what I thought, I did uncheck it but it still is showing. I have shareX installed on 2 machines. Both are having this issue.

I can confirm it doesn't work on my 2 devices too!
I disabled all checkboxes but tasks continue to appear:

Thanks @Ares9323. I hope that @Jaex can reproduce and fix this.

That option makes sure to not save recent tasks when you re open ShareX. You can't disable tasks showing for active instance.

If I kill the process and reopen it history is cleared, I didn't know I couldn't disable the current instance's tasks.
I think it's useful if you save every screenshot you take, but in my case (as you can see from my screenshot) history is just full of dead links with random names, i'd rather see the default page "Currently configured hotkeys"

I tried to fork and solve it by myself but I totally could not understand where to look for 馃槄

The simplest solution I found is to add "Clear task list" to the "After capture tasks", it's not very professional but it does the job and you don't need to rewrite existing code!

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.
