Description Luke Hutchison 2004-03-29 14:59:20 UTC 
It would be nice to have a recent:/// URI, which used .recently-used to display
a virtual directory of links to recently-used files.

Then the GTK File Chooser could have recent:/// as a bookmark when using the
gnome-vfs2 backend.

It would probably be a useful URI for the spatial metaphor, too.
Comment 1 Christian Neumair 2005-04-30 20:31:53 UTC 
Thanks for your suggestion. libegg seems to contain such a module. I haven't
come around to test it, though. This issue denotes that we really need a central
repository for storing the recent file code. The module might make it into
gnome-vfs while the egg-recent-model stuff will probably go into GTK+.
Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2007-05-03 18:14:24 UTC 
the gnome-vfs module in libegg used the old eggrecent API. weren't custom URI handlers in user-visible places deprecated a long time ago?

anyway, when bug #435342 is implemented, Nautilus could copy the behaviour locally and every usage of the recent files list would be covered, I think.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2008-09-06 18:54:31 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for
      gnome-vfs-mass-close
to get rid of this notification noise all together.
