Bug 686137 - Add Access Date column and set as default for recent (4.05 KB, patch)
2013-07-11 19:03 UTC, Garrett Regier 		accepted-commit_now Details | Review

Description Bastien Nocera 2012-10-15 08:30:57 UTC 
Recent files should really be sorted by access date instead of modification date so that the most recently used files appear at the start of the list.

This is especially important for media that won't be modified by the opened application, such as video, music or PDFs.
Comment 1 Adam Dingle 2013-04-19 14:27:50 UTC 
Right.  See bug 698365 for the same issue in the GTK file chooser.

Bug 686137 - Add Access Date column and set as default for recent

This shows the column at all times, should it only be visible when in recent files?
Comment 3 Cosimo Cecchi 2013-07-11 19:18:50 UTC 
I'm fine with the option of always showing it among the selectable columns, as long as it's not in the default set.
