Description
If I leave the switch "Keep record of used files in the Recent Documents list" unchecked, then I open various documents, they show up in the document history. If I re-open Gimp the documents still show in the history. Thus the setting doesn't seem to do anything at all. I would expect that if you left the check box unchecked no document history would be logged. I have turned document history off in Windows, so that has nothing to do with this issue. I am using Gimp 2.8.16 from the Gimp.org website on Windows 8.1. As it stands, the only way to clear the document history is to do it manually before you close the program.
Version: 2.8.16
