I've spoken to a few people about this before. My idea is that I'd like to see Gtk.RecentManager either use Zeitgeist, or be deprecated and replaced by a wrapper to Zeitgeist, or something. The less intersecting APIs we have, the better. Federico has already written about this a bit here: https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/GtkRecentManagerAndZeitgeist But I'm unsure of the status right now. >> > Unless we provide the recentlyused and mostused files in the .desktop >> > file the only way for the jumplist to populate itself with such items >> > is if the app is running and pushed them into the jumplists. >> >> I don't agree with the notion that "jumplist == recently/frequently used >> files" - for instance for Evolution, I would expect actions like "New >> mail" or "Open calendar", but not a list of recently read emails >> cluttering the list (even when that data is available in >> gtkrecent/zeitgeist). > > I comepletely agree with you that jumplists is more than most/recent items. > I never claimed otherwise. >> >> Florian >> >> > > Seif > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > desktop-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > -- Jasper _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
