Way to stop SMPlayer from showing last file or Dir accessed

[brittney24]

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable SMPlayer from displaying the last file played or last Dir accessed, when on main toolbar, click Open > File (or Dir)?

I have options disabled to save anything in Playlist, but last File & Last Directory are still shown from Open menu.
In smplayer.ini, I deleted the lines for most recent file & most recent Dir (while SMPlayer was closed), but after opening another video, those .ini entries are recreated w/ the latest file name and / or directory.

smplayer.ini is stored (at least for portable version) in same folder as program files.

You can set Max recent files to 0 in the the Interface settings to disable recent files.

Thanks. I already have max recent files set to 0. It doesn't really provide any privacy.

Play a video, stop it, close SMplayer2 (or original), reopen & then "Open>File," - it doesn't put a file name in the "File Name" box, but it opens the folder where the last file played is located & displays all files in the browser for that folder. It may as well be putting the file name in the selection box.

Same scenario as above - click Open>Directory, & it shows last folder used. No privacy in either of these cases. Even deleting the lines containing this data from smplayer2.ini isn't enough - just comes back.

Is this something I should create an enhancement ticket for?

BTW, I don't get email notices of replies for this forum. Settings in control panel are to receive them. They aren't getting spam filtered - I checked my provider's server.
I have off / on problems getting email replies from forums on Sourceforge (like NO other). But, I did register separately for this forum. I don't know if Sourceforge's server / system handles all email notifications for individual forums?

I've contacted Sourceforge support several times & though they've never found anything (& "looked like my acct was set up / working fine"), emails often start showing up after contacting them - for a while. That was for other sourceforge forums.

Well thanks very much. That was quick!

Will the new code stop the last folder & files in it from automatically showing, if one clicks Open>File?
If there's only one file in a folder, even though it doesn't enter the last file name in selection box, there's no problem figuring out which file was last played.
Now, it just opens the FOLDER of the last file, if set max recent files = 0.

Re: email notices. I kinda thought all forums on Sourceforge had the same abilities- maybe not.
However, in the users' control panel, the email notification feature is not turned off / disabled. So, possibly if you can't get it working soon, the option to receive notifications could be disabled - so users know they have to revisit the forum to check replies.

Thanks again.

Thanks for link, Redxii.

The playlist can already be disable to not save any entries, if desired.
I'll check out portable build 4355.l

[brittney24]

Could be wrong, but appears the code change (bld 4355) is only for the SMplayer + mplayer package (in the portable version).

Is is possible to add that to the portable SMPlayer only - w/o mplayer - package? Or is it already done & I'm misinterpreting info on d/l page?

Thanks.

"w/o mplayer" is simply without mplayer included. If you don't want the mplayer included simply delete the mplayer folder or configure smplayer to use something else.
