Description Christian Krause 2005-09-11 16:36:22 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Every file which is opened in eog should be put into the "recently files" list
of eog.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open an image with eog
2. close eog
3. open eog and look for "recent files" in the File menu


Actual results:
no recent files entry of an opened file is created

Expected results:
The opened file in step 1 should be in the recent files list in the File menu.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
1. eog seems to _read_ the .recently-used file and displays its contents, but it
doesn't add new entries
2. other applications (e.g. gedit) work well
3. deleting .recently-used doesn't help
Comment 1 Sergej Kotliar 2005-09-18 12:20:54 UTC 
In EOG 2.12, I don't even see a recent-file menu item.
Also - the files opened by eog show up just fine in the global Places->Recent
Files menu item.

Closing this bug as INVALID, perhaps ther is some misunderstanding here - if you
feel this bug needs to be reopened, please do so.
Comment 2 Christian Krause 2005-09-28 21:14:28 UTC 
There is no real "recent-file" menu item. But the recent files are listed in the
"File" menu numbered with 1,2,3 and so on.

In short: eog reads the .recently-used file and adds the recent files to the
File menu, but doesn't add new images (e.g. which are displayed by eog) to this
list.

You can try it out by adding:
<RecentItem>
    <URI>file:///home/chkr/pictures/Screenshot.png</URI>
    <Mime-Type>image/png</Mime-Type>
    <Timestamp>1127941865</Timestamp>
    <Groups>
      <Group>gimp</Group>
      <Group>Eye of Gnome</Group>
    </Groups>
  </RecentItem>
to your .recently-used file.

The other information of the bug report are still valid.
