I assume that this is a > bug in GTK, no, it's not. the list of recently used files is not written by the file selector widget: it's entirely up to the application to do that, by calling the GtkRecentManager API. > from what I can see it uses GtkFileChooser as in the > reference manual and does not use GTK's recently used files list > functionality directly. However I saw that the recently used > files functionality was added to the GtkFileChooser in GTK 2.11. yes, but the FileChooser widget *reads* that file to generate the recently used file list. so, if you're seeing writes to that file you'll have to find the calls to gtk_recent_manager_add_item() or gtk_recent_manager_add_full(). > This is as far as I can get with my knowledge, could someone with > more insight on the inner workings of GTK comment on what might > be going on here?
