How to reset the recently used program list?

[[Pe...]]

I really hate the recently used list.  Mainly because it seems I need to wait another 4 months to be able to use it since I havent had a 10/28/26 yet.

You can edit manually this file stored in your windows user profile - it's just a xml document

Hi Perry,

To clear this list, head to C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\ZEISS\CALYPSOFileDialog.exe. Find the file called "user.config". I would recommend renaming this file so it can serve as a backup. Then once you run CALYPSO it will generate a new user.config file. 

Hope this helps.

I don't hate the recently used list... but I do hate that now I have to click two different buttons to look up a program 🤷‍♂️

If you want to remove only CERTAIN programs from the list:

1. Close CALYPSO
2. Navigate to C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Zeiss\CALYPSOFileDialog.exe and open the user.config file with notepad++ or something similar.

    3.  Please pay close attention to the differently highlighted lines provided in the screenshot above. Lines 5-8 have a “0” in the key. lines 9-12 have a “1” in the key, so on and so forth. If i want to remove the “GDT Day 4 Ex 2” program, i would delete lines 9-12.

    4. The Last step is to ensure that there are no skipped numbers in this file. For all lines below the program which was removed, fix the count to be in order. Using the screenshot above, if you deleted the “1” lines, you will have to go to the next program and change the 2 to a 1 to fill in the gap, and repeat for all later listings.

Why is it that despite a lot of convenient functions being added to Calypso, we still have to edit a config file in 90s style from time to time, only to achieve such a simple goal?

In the 21st century a "Clear List" button really shouldn't be too much to ask for. 🙄

You make a good point. In fact, we'll be escalating this to the development team as a possible new feature in upcoming versions.
