[Bug 1570227] Re: Open Recent Items show as always empty in Gedit
I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 (based on Ubuntu 16.04). I was experiencing the same problem with gedit and I noticed that GIMP was also not populating the document history. A search for this issue with GIMP found a post that explained that under Preferences -> System Settings -> Privacy, there is an option to "Remember recently accessed files" (defaulting to "Off"). I've enabled that and now I'm getting my history lists again, although on gedit, it's only through the Open \/ menu. Personally, I'd prefer it if the File menu was fixed, but if we're going to have to use the new open drop-down, then the "Open Recent" option needs to be removed to avoid further confusion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570227 Title: Open Recent Items show as always empty in Gedit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/1570227/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1570227] Re: Open Recent Items show as always empty in Gedit
Looks to me that the 'Recent files' menu item needs to be removed, unless a way can be found to re-port the old behaviour into the Unity menus again. No point having that entry with just 'Reopen closed tabs' in it; it's misleading. I don't like the Gnome "Open \/" menu so much as it doesn't work well at all with the keyboard. If I type alt-O, then I can't type alt-D to open the 'Other Documents' button, because Unity assumes I want the Document menu in the main menu-bar. Also, there is no alt-O-1, alt-O-2 keybinding to quickly access past files -- you have to hit the arrow keys until you highlight the file you want. Are convenient key-bindings falling from favour somehow?

[Bug 1570227] Re: Open Recent Items show as always empty in Gedit
Looks like a Ubuntu issue to me, since in that Gnome bug, upstream says recent files have been moved to beneath the "Open \/" button on gedit's taskbar: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742425#c3 And indeed they are there! However, on Ubuntu 16.04, gedit also has a "File" -> "Open Recent" menu, which is now non-functional (it's always empty). It's a bit confusing since "File" -> "Open Recent" has always been the way to find recent files. It should either be removed or work. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #742425 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742425 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570227 Title: Open Recent Items show as always empty in Gedit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/1570227/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.
