Add option to clear recent files in WinZip Apps (PDF Express, Image Manager)

When an excessive number of files (including images and PDFs) have been opened using the Apps (Image Manager and PDF Express), the Apps updates the recent file list with the recent files opened.

While it's beneficial to have easy access to recently opened files, the list can become cluttered when there are too many files, and there's currently no option to remove or clear the list.

Even after closing and reopening the apps, the list of previously opened files remains. Therefore, it would be useful to have a feature that enables users to clear the recent file list as required.


Steps:

  • Launch Apps (PDF Express or Image Manager)

  • Open >15 individual files (Image and PDFs) in the respective apps

  • Select to view files then close file

  • Ensure Recent file list is updated

  • Attempt to clear recent file list by closing Apps (Image manager or PDF Express)

  • Reopen Apps

Result: Recent files list is cluttered, there is no option to clear recent files
