Re: [evince] feature: recent documents (Ubuntu 16, Evince 3.18.2)



Hi,

On my machine with Ubuntu 17.10, GNOME stores this information in $HOME/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

This file has contents that looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xbel version="1.0"
      xmlns:bookmark="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-bookmarks"
      xmlns:mime="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"
>
  <bookmark href="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="file:///home/[...redacted...]/x.pdf">"file:///home/[...redacted...]/x.pdf" added="2017-12-19T04:30:04Z" modified="2018-04-23T09:05:05Z" visited="2017-12-19T04:30:04Z">
    <info>
      <metadata owner="http://freedesktop.org">

after that, there is nothing else reported while opening a document.

Where can I find this "Recent Manager" facility on Ubuntu 216?

Open Evince from a console, and see if it shows any error.

It sounds like Evince does not have access to the Recent Manager
facility. Nonetheless, it also sounds like an local issue.
