GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 321131
Deleting files does not update |/.recently-used items
Last modified: 2005-11-13 13:45:56 UTC
Please describe the problem: When deleting files that have been previously opened in nautilus, and emptying the trashcan, the users ~/.recently-used XML file does NOT get updated with the fact. So when purusing your Gnome menu bar "Places -> Recent Documents" you still see deleted documents being listed. Nautilus SHOULD remove the relevant entries on file deletion. This is a simple feature which i'm surprised is missing. Alterntaively 'fam' should be used to monitor items in the recently used file and update them as needed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a file (PDF,Text, Image, etc..) in nautilus browser 2. Notice your Places->Recent Documents now is updated with the file entry 3. Now close the application that opened the file, and delete the file in nautilus . 4. Note that Place->Recent Documents still has the file listed ! 5. Click on the file in the gnome menu and you get an error message. Actual results: File fails to open since it has been deleted, but it still shows in the Recent Documents list. Expected results: File disappears from the gnome menu Places->Recent Documents list. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
