v15 – Can’t remove bad files from MTS file list

[Paolo F Cantoni]

When generating MDG files, the wizard starts with being able to optionally select an existing MTS file.  The drop-down list cannot be edited (such as to remove incorrectly typed or no longer required MTS file.

Please rectify.

If you feel comfortable editing the registry, the key name is "MTS Recent File List"

Thanks Neil, I'd worked that out...  But for those not comfortable...

It's bad UIX, ...

Are you saying shift+delete doesn't work on that particular control?

Yes! It only seems to delete the value selected, NOT the value in the list.

Did you try it?  Maybe I'm not doing it correctly...

I couldn't be bothered mucking up the list to try it, but I asked because most people don't know that's the normal key combination for that sort of control.

Yes, it clears the control but not the history.
