Hi there I had a very simple but IMHO pratical idea for some improvements (and innovations) on the desktop. i dont know about all of you, but my home folder usually has some folders, which in turn have lots of subfolders and so on..... i do this to make this the most organized possible. The downside of it, is that sometimes i have to navigate deeply into the hierarchy to get where i want.. unless i make some shortcut of course.
With time, i got this habit of when i'm working on something, be it a single document or a project with many files inside a folder, i usually put it on the desktop so that i have quick access. As soon as i finish my work, I copy the file/folder back to someplace in the deep hierarchy (or remove the shortcut). So i just had this idea, how is it possible to work with the Recent Documents and the Desktop? Like, displaying the contents of Recent Documents as shortcuts in the desktop also. Unfortunately, Recent Documents only supports...well.. documents. But what about using this idea to create a different kind of "Recent Documents" which can be configured just to "catch" what we want, lets suppose, text files, images, compressed files, and source files. And we could also be given more advanced options(ok, put it in gconf) to set how much time a file should stay if its not used... and things like that. looking forward to 2.10 :-) cheers -- Nuno Donato <nunodonato [at] gmail.com> "You are never alone or helpless, the force that guides the stars guides you too..."
