Q: Recent places in save as dialog gone

Hi,

I am using OS X 10.11.6.  I wanted to increase the items listed in the "recent places" in the "save as dialog", so I followed the instruction here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5185944?tstart=0

and typed the below in the terminal:

defaults write .GlobalPreferences NSNavRecentPlacesLimit -int 12

Then I discovered that it didn't work, and instead my "recent places" is not changing anymore.

Then I tried to reset by typing the below in the terminal:

defaults delete .GlobalPreferences NSNavRecentPlaces

Now the recent places is completely gone in the save as dialog.

I would be greatly appreciated if anyone can tell me how to reset recent places back to original?
