Problems with pinning recent files

FrameMaker 17/Windows 10

I have some trouble using the option to pin recent files.

1: Trying to unpin files which have been pinned - FrameMaker crashes

2: Newly edited files should figure in the recent files list, but don´t

3: It seems it is impossible for me to unpin the files which have already been pinned using the normal interface. Is it possible to delete the list somewhere else? In an ini file or "something"?

This is the error dialog I get every time I try using the pinning feature. And I have already sent the errror report to Adobe.

    This was also a "feature" in the prerelease. I reported it on that board, but not to https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html since release. Have you done that yet?

    I sent in the error dmp files to suggested adobe mail address. The error seems not to show in the same manner on both my pc's for some reason. Same OS but different kind of errors.

    That's basically a dead email box. Please post the bug to the address I provided so they can get it logged and fixed.

    Bjørn, look into the maker.ini file in your user area - at the very bottom.

    Since this feature exists, it is not reliable at all...

    Thanks @K.Daube . I am able to clear the recent file list using maker.ini, but trying to using the pinning feature still crashes FM. I shall have to try on another machine as well...

    It sorta works on mine. At least I don't crash, but I have to be very, very careful where I click the pin or it doesn't work.

     

    I'm seeing similar issues as you with the "recent documents" list.

     

    FM 16 had a habit of clearing out both my recent documents AND my pinned list on the regular.
