Increase the number of repos shown in "Recently Opened Repos"
Hello! I realise this is SUPER minor, but it'd just be so useful!
As a user who handles many repos in the same day
I would like more of my recent repos to appear in the "Recently Opened" list
So that I don't have to search the file system each time.
Again, super minor, it'd just really help
Thanks for reading!

Francisco SáenzEither this or GK remember (not necessarily show them) all opened repos and being able to quickly search them

Nick XitcoAgreed! The weirdest thing to me about this is that the search has seemingly no use since you're only ever able to search through the visible repos. It would be much easier to search through all previously opened repos

LarsRHear, hear! I'm also juggling more than 4 repos every day, so extending the recently opened list to x repos, where x is set in UI Settings would be a nice improvement.

Stephen G.I own dozens of repos and often need to work on more than 8 in a day. If GitKraken could remember more than 8, that would simplify my life a bit.

Dimitri MitropoulosThis is a bug. It's pretty unnerving that this can't get fixed. I fixed it myself by decompiling the asar, patching it, and recompiling.

To patch: in the codebase, there's a constant `RECENTLY_OPENED_LIMIT=8`. Change this to `800` (or whatever you want) and it works just fine.
what I said to support (after they directed me to this page, ironically)
> Consider that it's pretty broken as it is today -> not just a "new feature request". It's a core workflow of the application to open repos and the search that's there only actually searches on the 8 that are already visible. If the 8 visible were the most recent and the search allowed you to look through all the latest that'd be at least a little better (but it isn't that way).
It really blows my mind that they took the time to implement a search for a maximum of 8 things. If it searched the full list in the background and trimmed the results to 8 then I'd understand, but it doesn't work that way.
