I'm not really sure if this is a VLC issue or a Mac toolbar one, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to clear the list of recently-played files that pops up when you control-click on the VLC icon in the toolbar?
I used the "clear menu" option under file-->open recent to delete everything from my "recently played" list in VLC itself, but they still show up in the toolbar, and I'm not gonna lie, there's a few questionable vids there I'd rather not have random acquaintances stumbling upon...
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch,
Joesph

In short, (and in case it gets removed) you just have to open Terminal and copy/paste this, then hit shift:
defaults write org.videolan.vlc NSRecentDocumentsLimit 0
defaults delete org.videolan.vlc.LSSharedFileList RecentDocuments
defaults write org.videolan.vlc.LSSharedFileList RecentDocuments -dict-add MaxAmount 0
Boom. History gone. Have fun watching whatever videos you want to, without a trace... ;D
