Theres a simple fix. Change the setprop name in the script of stack "revpreferences" to cRecentStackPaths
change this line set the cRecentPaths of stack "revPreferences" to tRecentPaths to this set the cRecentStackPaths of stack "revPreferences" to tRecentPaths It looks like when a stack is saved it was updating cRecentStackPaths, but the setprop was working with an empty cRecentPaths property. Contradictory naming, changing the setprop back to the older name solves the problem at which point changing the number of recents in preferences works again, and updates to the list are tracked correctly.
