Thanks! Is it necessary to use timeout_add? I noticed that I can call
add_item before starting the main loop, and it seems to work once the
main loop is started. I'm not sure if that's relying on undocumented
behavior, however.
I also want to quit the process right after adding the items. This
seems to work:
recent_mgr = Gtk.RecentManager.get_default()
for file in args.files:
uri = GLib.filename_to_uri(os.path.abspath(file))
recent_mgr.add_item(uri)
GLib.idle_add(Gtk.main_quit)
Gtk.main()
But again, I'm not sure if this relies on undocumented behavior. (For
example, I noticed that I need the idle_add to be after the add_item
calls, or else the add_item calls never really "execute". I guess this
makes sense if add_item is also effectively adding an idle handler,
but I don't know if this behavior is documented or if it just works
"by accident".)
