hy!
I want to view frequently read documents when no document is loaded, I checked:
ShowStartPage = true
but unfortunately the start page looks like this:

What’s wrong?
I use Win7 64bit op.syst.

Use this link at the bottom right:

It toggles frequently used vs. about info.

csengh

unfortunately I don’t have such option :eye:
screen’s bottom is empty.

It’s hard to believe.

Can you post a screenshot of the whole window?

That part of the window seems to be obscured by the taskbar at the bottom.

What if you make Sumatra’s window smaller so that all if it is visible?

csengh

Unfortunatelythe windows taskbar has nothing to do with it.

Oh well, I can’t explain it other than your OS install being subtly corrupted.

This is from win7 32bit:

Also double-checked on Win10.

It’s even weirder that ShowStartPage = true doesn’t change that. Flipping ShowStartPage between true/false should show/hide that page.

OK, solved:
Flipping ShowStartPage between true/false is not enough for show/hide that page. This option is needed:

RememberOpenedFiles = true

Frequently read documents did not work because I had this option set to false, now I changed to true and all works fine.

That makes sense. Thanks for the update!
