Xcode doesn't show recent projects in recent projects list

Tags:

xcode

Every time I start Xcode it gives me a window where my recent projects supposedly should be. It would come in handy but unfortunately it's always empty.

Does it have anything to do with the location where I store my projects? I hope not.

Thanks for any help!

I would think it's because you could have your recent items set to 0 in System Preferences -> Appearance.

Update - If you are using Yosemite the correct path is System Preferences -> General -> Recent items (Thanks to @karim)

EDIT: Based on comments : Then Reboot

@Mellson answer is correct. But there is no menu in OS X Yosemite, System Preferences -> Appearance. It should be, System Preferences -> General -> Recent items. Set e.g. 5 items.

or in command line,

defaults write com.apple.Xcode NSRecentDocumentsLimit 5 

However, to my experience the first one works more correctly.
