Thx!

I have this file, but the content is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xbel version="1.0"
      xmlns:bookmark="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/desktop-bookmarks
"
      xmlns:mime="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info";
></xbel>

alex@alex-lat:~/.local/share$ ls -l recently-used.xbel
-rw------- 1 alex alex 218 May 18 15:35 recently-used.xbel
alex@alex-lat:~/.local/share$

when looking at
https://alexcabal.com/disabling-gnomes-recently-used-file-list-the-better-way/
I find no such

also, no ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

(I'm on Ubuntu 16.04)

Using , I discovered https://askubuntu.com/a/914578/705732 and indeed
remembered I had disabled the Recent feature.

Now I understand that Evince uses a Recent feature managed by the OS, so I
guess this answers my question.

thx,
