A couple of days ago, I noticed that:
(1) a history of my actions is being kept when I open any app
AND,
(2) the most recent item - even from days ago - automatically opens as well.
Two examples: When I open a file with PREVIEW, the one just selected opens along with the most recent item viewed. Same idea with SAFARI - the last page I visited has become the Home Page. If I right-click on (most) apps in the dock, a very long history of multiple items is retained.
I have set BOTH the Mac preferences and the Safari preferences to NOT keep a record of recent activity/history. Safari is set to open with a BLANK window. Until a couple of days ago, I did not have the issue described, but now I do. There is nothing that I can think of that changed as far as "tweaking" the preferences on my part
I could understand that some 3rd party apps may function independently in this regard, but it used to be that if I set the Mac preferences and Safari preference at ZERO, no record was kept by Safari or the Apple apps.
Any ideas?
------------------------
UPDATE: I just thought of something. ONYX was set to retain "5" in Recent Items, so I set that to "0" to see what happens. - although that does not fully explain why PREVIEW is still retaining dozens in its history of activity.
