my open recent menu is always empty. What may be the reason?

I could be wrong here, but I seem to recall that Finale will not load the recent list in the menu, if there is anything stopping the Finale boot up process.
Restarting Finale once again or loading a document (e. g. via File menu > New > Default Document) corrects it.

i put in a support ticket, we'll see what make music has to say. I'll post here again, if they have a fix.

I can't find it, either, in 2014 or 2012. at8ax, are you on Mac or Windows? I wonder if that's a Windows Only option?
What is interesting is that the help files keep referring to four most recently saved files, but my programs show ten.
Please, everyone, add the program and version you are using to your signature, in the user control panel.

I think I may have figured this out.
It appears on my system - Mac OS X 10.9.5 with Finale 2014d that "Open Recent" is attached to the System Preference in the General Tab "Recent Items". If that is on, then my Open Recent in Finale works. If it is set to "none" then Open Recent stops working.
This blows, since I prefer not to have the documents I work on saved in that menu, but would very much like to have Finale remember which scores I have recently worked on.
MakeMusic, how about a fix for this?
Thanks!
