Re: How to edit/remove "recent documents" ?

[mohit chawla <mohit chawla binary gmail com>]

Hello, yes I am aware of the hack. I did use it for a while....but the issue is that Zeitgeist relies on reading the recently-used.xbel file(GtkRecentlyUsed) for Gnome Activity Journal to be able to log entries. Hence, there is still no clean solution for the problem.

hi,
you have to delete /home/username/recently-used.xbel. to keep the recent documents empty you have to create a folder /home/username/recently-used.xbel. this is just a workaround. the final shell should be able to delete the recent documents.

good night, stefan
