GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 694777
Recently used dialog stinks
Last modified: 2013-03-01 01:29:13 UTC
It's not really our fault -- we just use stock gtk+ -- but what we have is outright ugly. There are lots of things we can improve -- display when the file was used, for example. We can use a dual-line format with location in the same way our save-documents dialog works. For local files we can also filter away those that no longer exist. We can grey out those we cannot read because of permissions.
A first cut of a replacement has been committed.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
