In my Job Codes history i get the 12 latest used "names". Is it possible to have more than 12 in the history?

DL Pro actually saves up to 15 previously used Job Codes, each in its own Registry value. Of these, only the top 12 are displayed in the drop-down list, which has no scroll bar. I'm not quite sure why the 3 inaccessible entries are saved.
The default text in the edit box is the same as the top entry in the drop-down list, which seems unnecessary duplication, though there may be a reason I haven't thought of.
In this scheme, there is obviously a practical limitation on the number of entries that can be provided for. How many entries did you want?

I want 30-40 entries.

The size of the job code history was set to 12 because it seemed a reasonable number. I think setting it to 30 or 40 would be too much for most users, but since it is very easy program I'll add a setting in the Windows registry called JobCodeHistorySize which will allow it to be set in the range 12 to 50.

This is as helpful as ever, but, to allow for potentially much longer lists, could the drop-down itself also have a scroll bar, please?

Windows automatically gives the dropdown list a scrollbar when the list gets too long to display in one go.
