This is the second time in a week I've run into the big difference in complexity between a simple "works for me" solution, and a tidy, generalized, shareable solution. For example, how to represent (replace,with) pairs in a @data node? Some people, I've heard, will put spaces in file names, hard to believe though that sounds. I propose this heavy handed but simple format for the @data node: # pairs of lines in this text indicate search and replace targets for # cleaning the recent files list. Each pair of lines should start with # either "REPLACE:" (first line) and "WITH:" (second line), or "REGEX:" # (first line) and "TO:" (second line). For example: # # REPLACE: .gnome-desktop # WITH: My Desktop # REPLACE: /mnt/usr1/ # WITH: / # REGEX: C:\\temp\\(*.\.leo) # TO: D:\\Users\\Me\\leoFiles\\\1 # # specifies three replacements, one of which will be done using regular # expressions - the only significant space in the above is in # "My Desktop" The regex example is hideous, but that's normal for regex, I'm not sure if it's correct, I'd test it. I'm not sure if this kind of markup in body text in @settings is leoine, but can't think of a better way off hand - I'll move in this direction and change it if someone suggests something better.
