Add the option to clear recent libraries

[HoussemNasri]

In the File > Recent libraries menu, it would be appropriate to provide, at the end of the list, the command “Clear Recent libraries,” as below

hello @HoussemNasri, I would like to work on that.

Hi @demetres12, please make sure to get it as in the screenshot. There should be a menu separator between the recent libraries and the "Clear recent libraries" menu item.

@HoussemNasri As I see there is not a corresponding test class for the FileHistoryMenu class. So, do you think it's better to consider GUI testing in reference to that?

[HoussemNasri]

I don't think it will be necessary. You can write a regular unit test that verifies that the list of recent files is empty after recent files are cleared.

Hello @HoussemNasri , just to keep you updated on my progress. Currently initializing the FileHistoryMenuTest class with the case needed. Will come back to you with a proposed solution.

A question here: Do you think is more proper after clearing the recent libraries,

• to disable FileHistoryMenu or just
• clear all menu items (i.e. recent libraries, menu separator and clear option menu item)?

I could go with the first option, as that's the approach followed by other menus and seems more reasonable for the end user

I like the first approach too
