thats probably because all softwares from Microsoft office suite have an entry menu for last used files so the last opened documents which used to be under the start menu became obsolete. 
still for our system, it is a good idea instead of browsing twice or more through drawers to reopened a file you just closed... 
is it not possible to capture something like "openfile()" call instead of using application.library which is basically so little used ? 
sorry if that sounds weird but I am no coder, as you might guess :-)

And I also think lists/menu/folder of last used docs was popular in Win95/98/XP days but not any longer.

It's the Application.library, which is part of the AmigaOS, doing the job. You should thank AmigaOS dev team, not me. My programs are GUI's only to display some data. It's up to applications to call functions of Application.library to support these features.

well what are these applications then (besides the one which are by default, Amiupdate, prefsobjeditor and tunenet) ? 
All I tried do not appear in the lastapps window... 
and nothing appears on the lastdocs window... 
commodity like this should be integrated within the OS (more system-friendly IMHO). 
Thanks anyway for trying to bring "new" concept/idea to our platform :-)

I tested them on my computer and they worked. Unfortunately very rare apps supports these OS features. :-(

while I appreciate the concept and idea behind it does not seem to work under AOS4.1u2 :-(

Quote: "it's because Notepad & FinalWriter don't use the new 
application.library..." 
I was going to say this in the readme but I forgot.

it's because Notepad & FinalWriter don't use the new application.library... For 
example amisounded seems to use it.

How does the last document program work?  I tried running it, but the window 
doesn't list files opened or saved with notepad or FinalWriter.
