Title:
~/.recently-used.xbel cannot be a symlink
Status in GTK+:
Won't Fix
Status in gtk+2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I'd like to be able to move ~/.recently-used.xbel to ~/Private. I
tried doing this with a symlink, but it is overwritten.
Steps to reproduce:
1. touch ~/Private/.recently-used.xbel
2. rm ~/.recently-used.xbel
3. cd ; ln -s Private/.recently-used.xbel
4. gedit
5. Open some file.
6. Close gedit.
Actual results:
~/.recently-used.xbel is a file and no longer a symlink. The data has been
written to ~.
Expected results:
~/.recently-used.xbel would still be a symlink and the data would've been
written to ~/Private/.recently-used.xbel.
Does this happen every time?
Yes.
Other information:
If there is some other way to redirect this filename, please let me know. If
there were some way to set a "filename" GObject property on every
GtkRecentManager when it's created, that seems like it should work, based on
the code.
Otherwise, I'll upload a patch which makes this honor symlinks. To add
this to the package, you'd just need to put it in debian/patches and
add it to debian/patches/series. (I used 099 as the patch number, but
I have no idea what the correct number should be.) I've done this in
my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~rlaager/+archive
