The frequency provided by gtkrecentlyused is a lifetime usage counter. Its impossible to ask for frequency in a specific timerange. As stated before, old stuff becomes irrelevant. Thus the frequency of it in the past should expire. Zeitgeist covers this. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
