Does anyone know how to access NSRecentDocumentRecords? It's completely undocumented, as far as I can gather. What I'm trying to figure out is how to manipulate the number of recent documents an application remembers in its Recent Items submenu. I can't find anything in any of the application, document or file-related documentation, and NSRecentDocumentRecords is the only clue I've been able to pick up (it's an array doc-based apps put into defaults).

There is a user default you can use: NSRecentDocumentsLimit. Best is to register your default value for this (a string containing an integer value) early in your application launch with NSUserDefaults using registerDefaults:. This is not documented but probably should be, I'll look into that.

Thanks Ali. For the benefit of the archive, the code I've used (in my NSDocument subclass's -init method) is this:

NSUserDefaults *defaults;
NSDictionary *appDefaults;

defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
appDefaults = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"15" forKey:@"NSRecentDocumentsLimit"];

[defaults registerDefaults:appDefaults];

It has the desired effect. Thanks again.
