egg-recent-dont-create-file-at-first-login.patch (2.27 KB, patch)

Description Mark McLoughlin 2005-07-18 10:19:24 UTC 
If you start a prototype session using Sabayon
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/sabayon) you see that an empty ~/.recently-used
file is created as the session starts up.

The reason for this is that EggRecentModel always creates an ~/.recently-used if
it doesn't exist ... even when nothing is to be written to the file.

Attaching patch which makes EggRecentModel only create the file when it is
actually going to write to it.

	* libegg/recent-files/egg-recent-model.c:
	(egg_recent_model_open_file), (egg_recent_model_add_full),
	(egg_recent_model_delete), (egg_recent_model_get_list),
	(egg_recent_model_clear), (egg_recent_model_remove_expired):

	If the .recently-used file is missing, create it only when accessing it
	for writing (Closes bug #310721).
