Removing recent titles in dock

Postby rock_rus » 13 Jul 2012 10:13

HI fellow VLC for Mac users. I was just wondering (for privacy concerns) how I can remove the recent titles that are posted in the VLC icon at dock?

Thanks. Hope someone can help.

In the terminal:

Code: Select all

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

Hey,

Could you add this solution to the wiki? That would be great!

I don't have a wiki account and don't really know how and where to make additions.

I don't have a wiki account and don't really know how and where to make additions.
You can just register and (after confirming your email address) make edits in most places. If I had to guess, the best place for that would be in the FAQ on Mac OSX only issues (albeit not really an "issue" as such):

Cheers, Arite.
