Question

Pinned Books disappearing from Welcome

Pretty much what it says.

FrameMaker 2020 (up to date)

Windows 10 Pro

 

Yesterday I had about 8 or so different books pinned to the Recent Files as a favorite. I open FrameMaker this morning to discover that all but one are no longer listed. This isn't the first time this has happened, either.

 

Anyone with ideas on why my pinned files are disappearing? It's a PITA to have to re-add them, and they're all current projects.

Happened again this morning. Of the 5 files I had pinned last night, today only 2 were listed. I had not edited the maker.ini file, and FM should not be doing this on its own.

Weren't those Recent Files all stored (listed) in the maker.ini? Maybe something interfered with accessing it/saving changes to it?

Could be. About 30 minutes after I posted that, I discovered that the folder I'd "pinned" in Visio had also been unpinned. I'm beginning to think it's Windows messing around.
