Great thanks Stefan,

TWApp.cpp looks like it sets a cap of 100 ?
-- line 696 (r949) TWApp::setMaxRecentFiles(int value)

So we put

  maxRecentFiles=100

into > texworks-config.txt < ?

Is that something worth having make to the Edit/ Preferences tab somewhere?

... Would there be any other worthwhile `Easter eggs'?

Or should we wait until Christmas? :):)
