Unfortunately the recent change seems to nuke the recent documents list within Inkscape.
However, this has been a long standing wishlist item. Krzysztov, is this wishlist item now fulfilled? https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170016
Cheers, Josh
Yes, GtkRecentManager should obey freedesktop.org standards - this is what Gnome apps use. I marked that bug as "fix committed".
It could be possible to migrate the recent document entries from prefs to RecentManager, but it wouldn't play well with e.g. Gnome's recent documents list (the global list would be spammed, because everything you had in Inkscape's list would be put on the top). I think it's best to leave it as it is, because recent document entries are not a critical piece of data.

Glad to hear that. Are you going to be doing any further work on this piece or would you consider it complete? If complete, we actually mark things as "fix released" when committed to svn rather than "fix committed".
I figured that the "spamming" was the reason you opted not to do the migration. Given that it's a one time thing, I can live with it.
As a side question, will this change affect the customizable number of docs listed in the Recent Documents list within Inkscape?
Cheers, Josh

That's rather weird because I think there must be some automatic mechanism in Launchpad to convert "fix committed" bugs to "fix released" wholesale when a release happens. The current practice is rather confusing for the users.

The maximum number of recent documents shown in the menu should stay the same - I'm using the same preference as before to look up and set the limit.

Can you reverse the list so the newest ones are at the top, as was before your change?
Done in rev 20040. Additionally I fixed a bug that prevented any of the recent documents from actually being opened -_- (the uri was not converted to a filename, and sp_file_open doesn't actually accept URIs even though its parameter is described as such - it accepts filenames converted to UTF-8... *head explodes*)

This must be a GTK bug, because I'm not seeing this (I have GTK 2.14.4). I don't know whether I can do much about the menu is using GtkRecentChooserMenu, which does all the work on its own.

It's because we want to keep track of the number of open bugs, and for launchpad, a fix-committed bug is still open while fix-released is closed. There's no easy way to change that.
Krzysztof,
two questions:
- now the most recently used document is at the bottom of the menu. Can you reverse the list so the newest ones are at the top, as was before your change?
- can you remove the useless and confusing "No items found" at the end of the menu?
Thanks!
