Hi,

I use "Find in Files" a lot. But now my Directories combobox has a *huge* history. Adding to the fact that GTK2 has a really brain-dead dropdown window (which doesn't actually drop down but rather up), I need to scroll that stupid combo list with a mouse hover until I get the previous directory items I searched.

Is there an option in Lazarus IDE, to limit the number of drop[down|up] option in such comboboxes? If so where?

If not, where does Lazarus store that history, so I can manually trim it. Or setup a daily cronjob to trim it too.

Regards,
- Graeme -

I found the entries in ~/.lazarus/inputhistory.xml
