Supplemental: The OEL installation has everything, the Windows installation is minimal as reported. Happens to me too, on a recent clean install of 7.3.1 on Windows 8. Reporter, is the project showing in menu File - Open Recent Project? It looks like its working okay in NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201307192300). Retested on 7.3.1 and I believe it worked correctly, too. The original bug report may have been due to my misunderstanding of the functional requirement and the text "<no recent projects>". I have a dozen projects. They are all open. I have accessed them recently. I notice the menu File - Open Recent Project is greyed when all projects available are open. Perhaps the text should read "<no recently closed projects available>", since that's more to the actual state - or perhaps there should be no text at all. This is something for a UX person to decide. So I am changing it to enhancement, because I think it may have been working all along, and was just confused by the verbiage. If it confuses me, there's probably a whole lot of other people confused by it and just don't bother to report... In the "Recent Projects" window, I am asking that the current text:"<no recent projects>" Be changed to: "<no recently closed projects>" Reasons: 1. The current text is ambiguous - no recent projects - where?. 2. Because of this ambiguity, I (and others) believed there existed a defect, because we had recent projects - just none of them were closed. 3. Because the proposed text would accurately describe the state, where the current text does not. |
