However if the app doesn't specify a list why not have a fallback option. Mostly you will end up using it in cases like gedit, rhythmbox, totem, epiphany and event documents. In that case I suggest the usage of zeitgeist and not gtk.recentmanager. Since such lists are dynamic i don't find it appropriate to keep updating the .desktop file with recently/most used every time the app is used. If apps really would do that I would suggest them push directly into zeitgeist. > Unless we provide the recentlyused and mostused files in the .desktop > > file the only way for the jumplist to populate itself with such items > > is if the app is running and pushed them into the jumplists. > > I don't agree with the notion that "jumplist == recently/frequently used > files" - for instance for Evolution, I would expect actions like "New > mail" or "Open calendar", but not a list of recently read emails > cluttering the list (even when that data is available in > gtkrecent/zeitgeist). > I comepletely agree with you that jumplists is more than most/recent items.
