If I try to open a non-existent file using a native gtk+ application, it
automatically prunes the non-existent file from the recent files file. Both KDE
and Gnome benefit from this.
LibreOffice simply clutters its recent files storage and doesn't clean up after
itself by removing stale entries on failure to open them which also poses a
privacy issue because users of FDo compliant desktops (Gnome/KDE/etc...) are
expecting the opposite different behavior.
Do you understand what I was after here and my concern?

It's your software so you can go ahead and not fix it if you wish but it is
really not Ok at all to ignore privacy issues.

Another argument against your proposition is that recently used does not mean
the same thing at LibreOffice level and at OS level. At LibreOffice level it
means this file has been opened by LibreOffice. At OS level it means this file
has been read or open by some program. There is a lot of other softwares than
LibreOffice that can change the last modified date of an office file. In other
words the recently used files list of LibreOffice gives a more precise and
useful information than the one from the OS.

So closing as WontFix.

Can you please post the result of:
gvfs-info /path/to/a/file.pdf | grep time
and
ls -l /path/to/a/file.pdf?

The modified date is also wrong for non-ODF files like archives, PDF files or
MS-Windows executables. Perhaps because my home is encrypted, but that is not a
good reason to return false data.

It should be part of glib2. Glib2 may be called something else on your
distribution.
An alternative is to run gvfs-info /path/to/file.

I may have some clues as to why the modified date is incorrect on your
installation. Would you mind keeping this bug open in case someone is able to
spare time to take a look? At least correctly populating the Recents panel in
gtk+ file dialog will be a welcome enhancement as it prunes stale entries.
Thank you.

no gio command. Which package is missing?

The list of recent files provided by my Nautilus (Ubuntu 16.04) is clearly
wrong from a LibreOffice point of view because it shows ODF files accessed
during the last hour that I did not open since several weeks. So your
proposition seems not be able to provide better information than the current
recently used files implementation.

Best regards. JBF

LibreOffice is not a Linux only software. What do you propose to manage
recently used files from a cross-platform point of view ?

Set status to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested
informations are provided.
