Or maybe a new API is still under development, and Apple is giving us an early 
heads up. Would be nice if they said so…

While not optimal, I would imagine this could be accomplished with a 
combination of recentDocumentURLs, clearRecentDocuments: and 
noteNewRecentDocumentURL:.

Yeah, but I need to manage system-wide items, like favorites (found in Finder’s 
sidebar), recent document (on system level, not my application level), recent 
servers, etc. Finder still does that so I don’t really get the response that 
“shared file lists are no longer supported.” The existing API still works 
though, but being deprecated clearly shows in which direction things are 
moving. Is that yet another feature developers are stripped of so they couldn’t 
produce applications which mimic some of Apple’s applications features?

I opened a radar a while back and got this answer:

"Shared file lists are no longer supported. There is no exact replacement API.”
“If you want to manage your recent documents list, you should use 
NSDocumentController."
“If you want to run a background tool independent of your main application, you 
should use a Launch Agent."

My application already uses NSDocumentController; however, there is no means to 
remove a recent item from the list and my application uses 
LSSharedFileListItemRemove. I updated the radar with the need to remove recent 
items. No word yet.
