This is now implemented in [r16061]. There's a new preference called "Clean recent files list" that enables it. As mentioned before, your recent files list will be clobbered by this update. You can restore it by going into your Rosegarden.conf file and renaming the [General] section to [RecentFiles]. Grab the latest svn and try it out.

I've done a bit of cleanup in preparation for this and discovered that the recent files are going to the wrong place in the .conf due to a bug. They are going to [General] (IOW no section) when they should be going to [RecentFiles]. I've fixed this which means when you pick up my changes (which I've not yet pushed, but will in the next few days), your MRU list will be empty. You can fix fairly easily by going into your Rosegarden.conf and changing [General] to [RecentFiles]. Then they will be picked up. (Note that if you have two [RecentFiles] sections after this, you'll want to delete the empty/useless one.) Just a heads up. I hate it when my MRU goes blank. It used to do that periodically in rg. Haven't had that happen in many years now. That bug must have been inadvertently fixed at some point. I will post a follow up when I push this change.

The problem with this is people who are accessing files on external storage, be it flash drives, network shares, what have you. The files might not exist only because the external storage isn't connected. The user might then want to reconnect the external storage and still have all the MRU entries. I think it would be safe to implement this feature but only if it has to be enabled through an option.
