Description

I'm wondering if LMMS will incorporate a way to change the recent history size and allow the option to disable it in the settings?

Pretty much a required feature for most of the programs I'd personally use.

As a side note, separating the history from the _~/.lmmsrc.xml_ file would be okay, especially if you could also set the path of the history file and _~/.lmmsrc.xml_.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how recent-document history is stored in ~/.lmmsrc.xml and how settings are exposed. Define the requested behavior for changing the history size, disabling history, and optionally separating or relocating the history and settings files; done means these choices are available and persist across restarts.
